Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

The most striking change compared with the previous model is the rear lighting of the Golf 2004.
The one-piece light unit, common on the previous model, has now been replaced by a two-piece light
unit. This is comprised of a separate independent light element in the side part and a fixed element in the
tailgate.
In this way, the car's relationship to the prestige Volkswagen models is made evident.
A bright and high quality appearance is achieved by day and by night by means of round elements,
comprised of several parts, located behind clear lenses.

Onboard power supply
The electrics box
Housed in the electrics box are the fuses for

components of the engine compartment and
the interior.
The connection between electrics box and
battery is very short (approx. 500 mm), which
enables use of the battery as a high frequency
filter between the consumers mounted directly
on the box.
Due to the increased number of fuses, the rating

of the fuses can be set to the individual
consumers.
Fitting location
The electrics box can be found on the left in the
engine compartment.

The windscreen wiper system
Wiper actuation
The wiper system comprises of a single motor with mechanical connection between the wiper arms.
The switch positions of wiper switch E are sent directly to the steering column electronics control unit J527
and then via the convenience CAN data bus to the onboard supply control unit J519.
The onboard supply control unit passes on information about the selected wiper stage via the LIN data
bus to the wiper motor control unit J400, which is responsible for control of the wiper action.
On vehicles with rain and light detector sensor, the wiper frequency is calculated in rain sensor mode
and sent to the wiper motor control unit.
In intermittent operation, the wiper intermittent stages are speed dependent and vary between
2 and 24 seconds.
The wiper control system detects a blockage in the wiper motion and reacts according to the degree of
resistance. The wipers will try to move the obstacle out of the way. If it has still not been moved after the
fifth attempt, the wiper will stay in this position.
Activation of the wiper after the obstacle has been removed is possible only by actuation of the
windscreen wiper switch again.
Instead of a 360 degree rotation,

the drive housing of the wiper
performs a reversing action through
an angle of 150 degrees.
In this way, the amount of space
S319_069
required for the wiper linkage has
been reduced.

Tyre pressure monitor
The tyre pressure monitoring system
The tyre pressure monitoring system is a software System overview

module in the ABS control unit, which detects Tyre pressure monitor
slow and gradual loss of air from the tyres. From warning lamp
current ABS and ESP data (wheel speed, current
vehicle status), it filters out fine changes and
compares the information with reference data.
J285
The circumference of a tyre can change
depending on the amount of air inside. If the Tyre pressure warning
circumference changes beyond a specified buzzer
degree, the tyre pressure monitoring system will
detect pressure loss.
J533
If pressure loss is detected, the driver will be
shown a permanent warning by the tyre pressure
monitor warning lamp in the speedometer of the J104
dash panel insert and one audible warning will Tyre pressure monitor
sound when the ignition is switched on. display button
The warning will not be reset until the driver

starts a new calibration procedure.

J533 Data bus diagnostic interface
● Evaluation of data is interrupted during fast cornering, on uneven road surfaces, during
braking and when the vehicle is driven up or down steep gradients. In these situations, tyre
pressure loss cannot be detected.
● Each time the tyre pressure is altered or if a tyre has been changed, the driver must carry
out a calibration procedure to prevent false warnings that may occur from old reference
data.
Even in the event of repair work on the running gear, the calibration procedure should be
carried out by the workshop and the driver informed of this fact.

Calibration
Since the tyre characteristics can change,
a calibration procedure must be performed each
time the tyre pressure is altered, or when a wheel
is changed, to allow new reference data to be
calculated.

Convenience and safety electronics
The exterior mirrors
In the Golf 2004, electrically folding exterior

mirrors are available as an option.
Operation of the mirrors is via a mirror setting

switch in the driver's door. If the switch is turned
to the "fold in" position, the exterior mirrors will
fold in automatically.
If the exterior mirrors are in the folded position,

they can also be returned to the normal position
above the speed threshold.
