The program in the screenshot is ABS Coding Ver 4.0 by Arenas Electrónica Automotriz. It’s a coding calculator tool mainly used for Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda (VAG group) ABS/ESP modules.
Here’s a breakdown for you: --- 🔹 What it does Helps calculate the long coding string for ABS/ESP modules after replacement, adaptation, or retrofit. Works with several ABS/ESP control units like: MK60EC MK100 variants (IPB, 3Q0/5Q0, 7E0, 8V0) ESP8 / ESP9 EBC460ABS / ESP / V1 ESP BOSCH MQBA0 MK25AT Lets you input the VIN and system type, then it generates or detects the correct coding. --- 🔹 Main functions on the screen TIPO ABS – choose the ABS/ESP module type installed in the car. VIN – enter the vehicle VIN (important for generating correct coding). CALCULAR – calculate the coding string. DETECTAR – detect the coding automatically from VIN and module type. GUARDADOS – access saved codings (previously stored results). GUARDAR – save the current coding (button is only active after a calculation). --- 🔹 How to use (basic workflow) 1. Identify ABS unit – check the part number of the ABS/ESP module (using VCDS, ODIS, or on the physical unit). 2. Select module type in the program (e.g., MK60EC). 3. Enter VIN – type in the car’s VIN. 4. Click DETECTAR – the program will try to fetch the correct long coding. If detection fails, you can click CALCULAR to manually generate the coding. 5. Once coding is generated, copy it and use a diagnostic tool (like VCDS, ODIS, or OBDeleven) to write the coding back to the ABS module. --- 🔹 Requirements Works on Windows PC. Requires no direct connection to the car (it only generates coding strings). A diagnostic interface (VCDS, ODIS, Launch, etc.) is still needed to apply the coding. --- 👉 This tool is especially useful if you replace an ABS module and the original coding is lost (often shows as 0000000000000 in VCDS). Instead of guessing or searching, you generate the exact coding.
