OCU / Car-Net modules with software 078 or 086 SHOULD NOT be
replaced for the following fault codes:
o B201700: Control module locked
o B105213: Control unit for cell phone preparation open circuit
o U112300: Databus error value received
o B1788F0: Control Module Immobilizer deactivated
 SW 078 equipped cars will have a brief “Chirp” or “In-Band modem noise”
when making a connection. This is a characteristic operation and no repairs
should be performed.
 Swapping of OCU modules from car-to-car for diagnosis or repair is
discouraged as corruption of stored vehicle data and subscription
information within OCU is possible.
 Current Service Parts should have software level of 078 or 086 (Higher
levels pending). Do not install lower software level into vehicle than was
removed, i.e. DO NOT replace a SW086 with a SW078.

VAS PC does not support 2014 NMS Passat. ODIS (at latest software level)
MUST be used to communicate and diagnose these vehicles. See ServiceNet
– “Workshop Equipment” for latest updates.
