Important: Use this guide if you reinstalled your repaired (VW/Audi Lane Assist Module) and the problem is still happening.

  • Step 1: Confirm the exact warning/message
    • Examples: ACC/Braking Guard Unavailable, Active Lane Assist Unavailable, Cruise Control Disabled
    • Note if you have camera-related DTCs such as “No Camera Vision” or “Camera error detected”
  • Step 2: Verify battery voltage and charging health
    • Low voltage can disable ADAS features and trigger multiple driver-assist warnings
    • If the battery was recently dead or replaced, fully charge it and re-test
  • Step 3: Perform a full vehicle scan and save the codes
    • Scan all modules (not just engine)
    • Record codes in: camera/lane assist, ABS, steering, radar (if equipped), and BCM/gateway
    • Clear codes and see what returns immediately
  • Step 4: Check the camera area and windshield condition
    • Inspect windshield in front of the camera for cracks, heavy tint, haze, stickers, or dirt
    • Make sure the camera housing is seated correctly and not loose
    • If the windshield was replaced recently, calibration is commonly required
  • Step 5: Inspect connectors and wiring to the lane assist camera/module
    • Check for corrosion/green pins, moisture, bent/pushed-out pins, loose terminals, or pin fitment issues
    • Reseat connectors fully and confirm latches lock
    • Inspect harness routing for pinch points or rubbing damage
  • Step 6: Check for water intrusion (very common on camera modules)
    • If the issue happens after rain/car wash or high humidity, suspect moisture in the camera area
    • Inspect for moisture marks around the camera mount/housing and nearby connectors
  • Step 7: Verify fuses and power/ground
    • Check fuses related to ADAS/camera/lane assist systems
    • Verify power and ground integrity to the module (weak ground can cause intermittent “no camera” or “static interference” faults)
  • Step 8: Confirm required calibrations are completed
    • If the camera/module was replaced, windshield replaced, suspension alignment changed, or front end collision work performed
    • Lane assist/camera calibration is typically required before features will enable
    • If calibration fails, it usually points to vehicle-side issues (mounting, windshield, wiring, power/ground, or alignment)
  • Step 9: Rule out related system faults that can disable driver assist
    • ABS/ESC faults, steering angle sensor faults, or radar faults (if equipped) can disable ACC/Lane Assist
    • If you have these codes, address them first before suspecting the camera/module
  • Step 10: Re-test and re-scan
    • After each change, clear codes and road-test if safe/possible
    • Re-scan and note which codes return immediately vs. only after driving
  • If the issue is still present
    • Call or email UpFix for the fastest help, especially if the issue happens immediately after install
