It appears that there is an electrical short in the engine, and the engine won't start. I get the K1 - Short to ground error when connnecting the VAG - VCDS.

I tried issolating the module that was "shorted to ground" by disconnecting the connector pos. 5 in the E-Box Plenum Chamber. This allowed me to scan the remaining modules. But I was unable to scan the engine, and the transmission returned:

Any suggestions on further issolating the short?

Thanks.
