Important: the available functions after unlocking the SFD depend on the vehicle model, model year, control module and the respective SFD implementation. Only service relevant functions are available after unlocking SFD2 (UNECE) control modules. This includes service resets, brake pad replacements, particle filter regeneration among other service functions that are supported by the vehicle/control module. Which functions are actually available after successfully unlocking the SFD will be displayed directly in the VCDS lists for coding/adaptation.
