Title: G269 fault code
Post by: Neiltdi on February 21, 2019, 09:09:22 pm

Hi guys long time!

I have a 2008 edition 30, it had standard shocks and springs with eibach lowering springs I replaced all shocks and springs with genuine parts now the orange steering light is on with fault code g269, I have tried doing the basic settings with vag com, light goes out drive and it’s perfect, turn engine off cycle ignition and light comes back on ?
Surely the rack hasn’t buggered from doing this job ?

Any help would be great !

Thanks

If you have access to VCDs I'd follow Ross-Techs advice before doing anything else.

Checking Steering Torque Sensor (G269)
Prerequisites:
Ignition ON
Engine ON (Idle)
System voltage at least 11.0 V.

Group 001
[Go!]
Field 2: Steering Torque Sensor (G269)
Turn the Steering Wheel multiple times completely to the left and right. The Torque Values should change.
If the Torque Values do change, it's most likely an intermittent Fault in the Wiring/Connectors.
If the Torque Values do NOT change, the Sensor itself or the Power Supply (Terminal 15) might be faulty.
