My 2017 GTI Sport has been throwing all error lights ( ABS, ECS, Adaptive Headlights, Tire Pressure, Cruise Control!, ... ) on startup with increasing frequency. Sometimes also throws them while driving on occasions when it didn't do so on start. Research suggests it's likely caused by a bad/failing ABS sensor or its wiring. I'd like to confirm that, and it appears that OBD can read codes that would help me identify which sensor(s) are at fault. That info would help me decide whether replacing it/them is a project I want to tackle myself.
It looks like there are multiple versions of the OBD 11 2nd generation: no plan, Pro plan, and Ultimate plan. Does anyone know if the "no plan" version provides the detail I'd need to see which ( if any ) wheel sensors are acting up? Does that version give access to all error codes?
I'm not considering any additional software mods right now, since the three issues I most care about are already implemented: courtesy blink = 5, "roll down all windows on long press of unlock fob button", and Soundaktor is off. But the ability to do some coding might be handy: I replaced the original battery a couple months ago (when this issue first started) with a seemingly identical OEM battery, and didn't have any way to apply coding for the new one.
Recommendations for which model is best suited to diagnostics (and maybe easy coding for the new battery) would be much appreciated, as would pointers to sources of more info on using the various versions of OBD11 and its software.
TIA!!
