Haldex Repairs
The Haldex Gen 5 all-wheel drive (AWD) and Haldex Differential Electronic Module (DEM) are both found in VAG group (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat), Land Rover, and Ford vehicles. These Haldex ECUs control the torque distribution between the front and rear axles, ensuring that handling and traction control perform as they should. Despite their advanced technology, the Haldex Gen 5 and DEM are known to fail.
Haldex Gen 5 ECUs will typically display failure symptoms such as an illuminated traction control warning light, often followed by reduced traction and handling in the vehicle. Haldex DEM failure will however trigger warning messages to appear on the dashboard for ‘Anti-Skid Service Required’ or ‘Transmission Service Required’. When the DEM malfunctions, it will also cause aggressive wheel spin when pulling off from start.
Unfortunately, diagnostic equipment will often face challenges in communicating with the faulty Haldex ECU. Occasionally, diagnostics can be successful and reveal stored fault codes such as:
- 01324 – Control Module for All Wheel Drive (J492): No Signal/Communications
- C111207 – Haldex Clutch Pump Mechanical Malfunction
- U0114 - Lost Communication with Four-Wheel Drive Clutch Control Module
- U1121 – Transmission (CAN message)
- 00448 – Haldex Clutch Pump
Due to their complex systems, repairing a faulty Haldex ECU requires specialised knowledge. Our Haldex repair service fully tests and rebuilds Haldex Gen 5 and Limited Slip Differential ECUs within 2-3 working days.
Below we have provided additional information on repair options for those facing Haldex AWD system issues.
