Technical Service Bulletin
• DTC P174E (Valve 3 in the sub-gearbox 2, electric fault)
• DTC P174000 (Clutch temperature monitoring)
In the expanded environmental conditions one or several of the following codes are logged:
• 1F68
• 1F2C
• 1F5A
• 1F5B
• 1F5C
• 1F5D
• 1F5E
• 22EB
• 22EC
• 1F5F
Fault codes and expanded environmental conditions codes must match exactly or this TSB should not be
followed. The instructions to obtain the expanded environmental conditions are shown below
Technical Background
Poor internal contact area on circuit board will lead to faults. Oil additives can cause the plastic circuit plates to
delaminate, causing contact loss.
Production Solution
Improved circuit board for mechatronics unit.
Service
Confirm that this TSB applies by checking the expanded environmental conditions codes:
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Using ODIS Self Diagnosis:
• Start Diagnosis.
• Select tab “Control Module List”.
• Scroll down list to “02 – Transmission Control
Module”.
• Right-click to select “02 – Transmission Control
Module”.
• Select “Guided Functions” from pop-up menu
(Figure 1).
• Select “Read Measuring Value Block (RG.34)”.
• Select “Perform” (Figure 2).
Figure 1. “Guided Functions” Selection
• Select option “Select measuring values
individually”.
• Scroll down list to “IDE04347 Expanded
environmental conditions”

Technical Service Bulletin
• If the last 4 digits do not match one of codes listed in the Condition section of this TSB, this TSB does not
apply. A TACS case should opened using the normal Transmission Repair Authorization.
Figure 4. Example of “Expanded environmental conditions”. In this example, the last four digits do not match
the codes listed in the Condition section, so this TSB would not apply.
If the TSB applies, perform the following repair:
1. Remove the mechatronics unit per instructions in Elsa: Repair Manual >> Transmission >> S-Tronic
Transmission >> 35 Gears, Shafts >> Removal and Installation >> DSG Transmission Mechatronic J743.
2. Replace the circuit board per instructions in Elsa: Repair Manual >> Transmission >>S-Tronic Transmission
Internal Components >> 35 Gears, Shafts >> Removal and Installation >> DSG Transmission Mechatronic
J743 Circuit Boards.
3. Reinstall the mechatronics unit per instructions in Elsa: Repair Manual >> Transmission >> S-Tronic
Transmission >> 35 Gears, Shafts >> Removal and Installation >> DSG Transmission Mechatronic J743.
Note:
Be sure to follow all cautions and warnings noted in the Elsa Repair Manual.
Tip: If the connector locks are damaged when the circuit board is replaced, the mechatronics unit must
be replaced. Once connected, the circuit board cannot be removed and used again.
