2005> Jetta A5, - Key Cannot Be Removed from the Ignition
when the Transmission is in PARK
November 29, 2013: Update to information.
If a customer comments that the key cannot be removed from the ignition when the transmission is in
PARK or that the PRND12 is not reading correctly in the MFI, DO NOT replace the ignition switch, lock
cylinder, or lock housing assembly. Instead, be sure the Ignition lock solenoid is working properly and/or
check that the N376 (called the "catch"), is connected to the lock housing. In some cases you may get a
fault code 00194 009 Ignition key removal from lock open circuit/ short to earth. Use MVB 5 in address
word 16-Steering Column Electronics for an aid in diagnosis. Please be certain to use the VIN in ETKA to
obtain the latest part number(s) available.
