bump. Ijust got the same DTC when I turned the headlights on.

My drivers side bulb has been blicking on and off for about a month now, and tonight the bulb flickers ever so dimly for about 2 second and then just stays off. When that happened, the ABS light and traction control light came on as well as a flashing "brake" light.

What is going on?

I also, tried to access the ABS brakes module via vagcom and it says there is no response from controller. Its like vagcom cant connect to the ABS module.

Any ideas?

What type of headlight setup do you have? I have an aftermarket HID kit, and what happened to me was combination of bad bulbs and a bad ballast. The bulb was all twisted and such... but the ballast was causing a HUGE voltage spike.

With the bulb out and the connector in sight, i turned the light switch on and saw sparks shoot out of it. The voltage spike was throwing off the ABS and such... which is BAD! I had a spare ballast and I threw that in... no huge spark.... I also put in a spare bulb... put it all back together... and from then on, I have had no problems with this again.

The cause: cheap/bad aftermarket HID parts.
The solution: replace the bad parts with new.
