VW Tiguan 2011 - assembly of the hook module harness 1K0 907 383

Question

Hi I installed a manual pull-out hook (line). I recently bought a used Westfalia 1K0 907 383 towbar module. I have a bundle (supposedly the original one removed from such a car), instructions found on the Internet and dozens of read topics on forums. The problem is, I can't get to the end of...

Rather a matter of coding or the module itself. CAN is CAN, you connected to the original, after all, original module. It remains to encode the gateway so that the system can see it, provided that it is operational. support-needed

If it matters, the positive is on 9, 11 and 12 pins, after ignition on 2 (12-pin connector). The ground of pin 10 only.

Module, harness mounted, connected as described above (more or less).

After activating the car controller, the indicator of the burned out bulb appeared on the board. The electromechanic who coded the module said he did not see it on the network, but had a bug that could indicate that the module has been connected for a while.
So the module has been activated, there is a light on the board, and I have a puzzle.

More precisely, I connected the harness like this:

PIN 2 - black and red wire 0.5 mm? - in the description there is place 4 - it was occupied for me, so I probably connected 6 to the black and white wire. Could it matter?
PIN 3 - wire from the brake light. I found it in the plug without any problems and soldered it.
PIN 7 and 8 - CAN wires - it's simple, I soldered it, even in exactly the same colors.
Pin 9 - violet-red 2.5 - I connected to 12 V always present (slot 52 in box C)
Pin 11 - gray-yellow 1.5 - fuse box C, place 25 - after 12 V ignition
Pin 12 - white and red 1.5 - fuse box C, place 23 - after 12 V ignition

Could it matter that 12V is after ignition or steady? Could it be more of a problem with the PIN2 cable? How to search

And if you connect the trailer, the error light goes out?

staki · Answer

I checked with the trailer, nothing changes, the lights on the trailer do not shine.

I checked the voltage on the plug at the module, everything is as described. Maybe the module detects that the voltages are cut off with the ignition, but they should not, and is in error? But why then the diagnostician did not see it on the CAN network?
Is there any way to check if the CAN on the plug is OK?

I also read on the vwgolfv.pl forum, from which I took the description that my friend connected the ground to pin 1 and 10. I only have 10, because there was no wire to pin 1 in my bundle. Maybe this is a problem.

It's more of a cause.

staki · Answer

And are there any ways without specialized equipment to check if the CAN is reaching the plug? Need to have an oscilloscope?

staki · Answer

The man who coded said they install these modules every now and then. Unfortunately, I have no way to check if he did it right.
I do not know what now, either I will look for a module to check (it can be hard), or I will give the car back, because there was an offer that they can bury and see what it may be wrong.
But unfortunately it will probably hurt in your pocket.

Thanks to Andrzej20001 for help and coding links.

I will also add that according to this information, if cut 12 V is given, where it should be constant, the module enters the service mode and may be invisible on the CAN. At least that's how I understand it, and understanding German translated by Germans into English can be a challenge :P

Unfortunately, I went on a business trip and I will check it quickly around Friday or Monday. I will connect all 3 thick wires to the uncut, according to the instructions from post 1.
I will let you know about any progress.

staki · Answer

Problem solved!
First, I connected all the +12 V indicated above to the uninterrupted circuit - unfortunately it did not help. Then I connected ground to PIN 1 and bingo! - the error is gone and the module is working :)

My module is labeled WESTFALIA 1K0 907 383 HW: 001 SW: 002
Thanks to everyone for your help.

I am just installing the hook at home, also original, in the bundle coming from the hook I still have a small 2-pin connector, what should it be connected to?

t.tablica · Answer

Hey!
How did you end up connecting the wires to the red connector? I’m asking because I’m trying to connect a VW AG 1k0 907 383 G Hella control unit (hitch 5N0 803 880 J Oris) to a 2011 VW Tiguan 1.

Would you be able to advise how to connect the wires to the red connector and where the black connector goes (with 3 wires connected)?
