VW Jetta/Golf MK5 Diagnostics: How to Scan Check Engine, ABS & Brake Lights (VCDS/OBD2)

VW Jetta/Golf MK5 Diagnostics: How to Scan Check Engine, ABS & Brake Lights (VCDS/OBD2)

Don't let those warning lights ruin your day! If your VW Jetta or Golf MK5 (covering models from 2005 to 2010) has the Check Engine Light (CEL), ABS Light, or Red Brake Warning Light on, this video is your complete diagnostic guide.

We walk you through the process of connecting a proper scan tool (like VCDS/VAG-COM or an advanced OBD2 reader) to your VW MK5 to accurately read codes from all major modules—not just the engine! On German cars, brake and ABS issues are often hidden in separate systems.

OBD-II Scan Tool (VCDS/VAG-COM recommended for full module access)

Disclaimer: Reading codes is the first step. Always diagnose and repair carefully or consult a certified mechanic!
