- 117911/P1503 - Load signal from Alternator Term. DF: Range/Performance / Implausible Signal
The Ross-Tech HEX-V2® and Ross-Tech HEX-NET® interfaces come in different levels set by number of VINs (Vehicle Identification Number). One VIN = one individual car (note early cars do not show their VIN when scanned so are not counted towards the VIN limit). Anyone try Ross-Tech Hex-Net for VCDS Mobile yet? 05:59 PM #1 Just placed an order with Ross-Tech and wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with this yet. New, universal replacement for our previous KII, MicroCAN & HEX-CAN series of interfaces. Includes a VCDS software license and the interface you need to connect to tour VW/Audi Group vehicles. Limited to either 3 or 10 different vehicles (managed by VINs, select number of VINs below), this interface and VCDS software turns Windows® PCs into a powerful diagnostic tool for the D.
17911/P1503 - Load signal from Alternator Term. DF: Range/Performance / Implausible Signal
Possible Causes
- Alternator faulty
- Voltage Regulator faulty
- Wiring and/or connections faulty
Possible Solutions
- Check / Replace Alternator
- Check / Replace Voltage Regulator
- Check wiring and connections
- Check the fuse box that is in the battery tray, it might be burnt, the fuse or the complete plastic box (pretty common failure on Sharan because it carries so much electrical load). If so, change the complete fuse box, it is not too expensive fix if this is the cause.
Special Notes
Hex V2 Cable
Hex Net Vs Hex V2 Pro
- When found on the BEW engine, check MVB 16, Field 1. In most cases values will be between 15% to 30% at idle. 0% could indicate a failed or incorrect alternator.
This chart shows the functions currently supported by each of our software products, as compared to the factory scan tools. Keep in mind that not all controllers in all cars will support all functions so please refer to the Factory Repair Manual for each vehicle to determine what should be supported. Also some functions (such as Advanced Measuring Values) may only work with supporting documentation which may not be exist for some modules at the present time. Some UDS functions require supporting documentation for VCDS-Mobile that requires a cloud connection at least once.
