7-Speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG/0AM)

From Ross-Tech Wiki
General Information about this Transmission can be found in the Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org
/wiki/Direct-Shift_Gearbox) . Additional information can be found in the Official Factory Repair Information.
Our Current 0AM-300-04x.lbl label file needs a facelift and the 0AM is not used in the NAR market at this
time, so we don't have access to a TCM in a real car. Control Module Maps from these units would be
appreciated and that function is explained in detail on the following page: Control Module Maps Please submit
a complete Auto Scan (http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/autoscan.html) with the control module maps when
possible.
This should be obvious but the procedures on this page do NOT apply to transmissions other than 0AM. For
example, longitudinal 7 speed DSG's like the 0B5 used in the B8 S4 use a different procedure.

Selector Lever in P
Ignition ON, Engine OFF
Parking brake applied
Brake Pedal operated (hold for the whole procedure)
Throttle Pedal not operated
See the Special Notes if the Mechatronic unit needs to be replaced.
NOTE: Be sure to perform the following steps in the sequence shown, followed by the defined test drive.
[Select]
[02 - Transmission]
[Basic Settings - 04]
Group 060
[Go!]
[ON/OFF/Next] may be necessary
The live data should display 4 | 0 | 0 in Basic Settings. This may take up to 2 -to- 5 minutes.
After the 4 | 0 | 0 results are displayed, start the engine immediately and allow it to idle. If 4 | 0 | 0 is not
shown do NOT start the engine, something is wrong with the procedure or the transmission.
It is normal for the transmission to make noise while the tolerances are adapting. Do not exit or
abort the Basic Settings sequence prematurely if you hear clacking noises. This is similar to the
02E 6-Speed DSG.
The live data should display 254 | 0 | 0 to confirm a successful Basic Settings after 3 -to- 6 minutes.
254 | 7 | 0 alone would Not be complete yet and 255 | 0 | 0 would indicate the basic settings was
interrupted or failed.
[Done, Go Back]
Switch off Ignition, wait for a few seconds and switch it back on.
[Fault Codes - 02]
Check and clear any fault codes.
[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]
Perform the Defined Test Drive below.

Transmission fluid greater than 30* C. The Measuring Block value for G510 is found in group 011.1
Do Not use Cruise Control.

Stop followed by shifting into reverse and backing up two times.

Stop followed by driving in each forward gear using the Tiptronic shifters for no less than 3 seconds per
gear.
The next portion of the drive must be done in any group choice of the following gears to maintain the proper
RPM and maintain a safe driving distance on the road:
A = Gears 4th or 6th (4th is preferred)
B = Gears 3rd, 5th or 7th (5th is preferred)
Using the Tiptronic shifters maintain the range of 2,000 -to- 4,500 RPM and drive in each gear group (A
and B) for no less than one full minute (two minutes are preferred). Use variable accelerator pedal
positions but accelerate to full throttle at one point in each gear group during this one minute process.
MVBs 180.1 -and- 200.1 should confirm clutch adaptations with values of 3 or greater. If any portion of
the adaptation is not completed it should finish on its own with normal driving.

NOTE: If the test drive cannot be performed in the recommended way or the necessary time, any remaining
adaptations will be performed automatically during normal driving.
Special Notes
Use the Official Factory Repair Information if the Mechatronic unit needs to be replaced.
The Removal Position Basic Setting group number is 062.
The Neutral Position Basic Setting group number is 061.
Some modules do not require the use if the [ON/OFF/Next] button. If an Error is displayed after clicking
the button, or the Basic Settings status does not switch to On, let the selected group and procedure finish
on its own.
It is normal for the transmission to make noise while the tolerances are adapting. Do not exit or abort the
Basic Settings sequence prematurely if you hear clacking noises.
If Registered Users experience difficulty with the Basic Settings procedure, please send the complete
Auto-Scan in addition to the vehicle repair history to us directly via email (mailto:Support@RossTech.com) .
