TS and CG pins

[nathanielchapman]

Does anyone have a diagram of the DLC pinouts please I'm trying to manually (paperclip method) recalibrate my steering sensor (techstream loses communication half way through 🤬) I've found lots of posts and videos online saying pins #4/#12 are the correct ones but when I use them it puts me in 'diag vsc' mode where I can check things on the navigation screen instead of test mode which is really frustrating 🤣 🤣 been trying for days 🤣

To reset the sensor you need to keep the pins shorted for 45 minutes (I think technically 30, but I just do it for 45, because I had several occasions where it did not work after like 35min).

The steps are as follows... car has to be OFF

Short the pins, turn it to OFF>ACC>IG... DO NOT START THE ENGINE

Keep for 45 min and make sure Battery does not go flat.

Turn the IG>OFF, do not try to start the car... 

Remove the short... only then try to start the car.

Diagram below:

Also 4# and 12# is incorrect... it is diagnostics mode... and in that mode you can press brake pedal to erase the faults. To reset all ECUs (presumably also REMOVE calibration data) you need to use 4# and 13#.

Linus p thank you mate I'll give it a shot after work tomorrow. I'm wondering if the day time running lights would flatten the Battery as when the IG is on they are constantly on whilst I've been trying to use techstream .

In this part do you mean the car has to be on off sorry just confused as it says car has to be off and then next turn it to off lol

("The steps are as follows... car has to be OFF

Yeah sorry, I looked at it and thought "is this going to be clear" - it has to be OFF to start and then you toggle into ACC>IG

The point - don't short the pins and do not remove the short when car in any other mode but OFF. Else it won't work e.g. you can do everything right, but pull the short before witching IG>OFF and it will fail. So your start and finish the procedure with car being in OFF position.

Also I would advise to either have proper pins, or short it with probes from the back side, because it is easy to damage OBD 2 socket and then it is real pain to get that fixed.
