Title: ACC deactivated?
Post by: 2007GTI on 28 June 2018, 20:11

I have a message on my dash saying "ACC deactivated" I go into the menu and it is still ticked, the message won't go away.

I tried using my ODBEleven, but annoyingly it won't connect, will try again later.

Any ideas?

Turn it back on by pressing the on button, on the steering wheel.

Check the sensor is clean? A tiny bit of road grime was enough to deactivate mine but a wipe with a snotty hanky soon sorted it.

Just found this on another forum:

I had this twice so I decide to read the manual. If you press the "set" or "res" button it will show the message "acc deactivated".
You first have to turn on the ACC by pressing the little button that looks like a speedometer. There are two similar on the left hand side of the steering wheel and you need the top one. The bottom one alters between the speed limiter and the acc.

I think it's just telling you that you haven't got ACC switched on which you can tell as you can see the mileage instead of a little speedo symbol. Mine is always on so it's a nice surprise to see the cars mileage when I switch the engine off!

I got air on the lanes and nearly bottomed my GTI out and got this message for a split second. I realise that this is no help whatsoever.

I've had this & a little part of me thought I'd possibly broken it, given some of the responses here. However, came back to life once I'd pressed the requisite buttons.

Gut feel says it is possibly the same & if I can recall when less tired and nil alcohol inside, I'll let you know :). Or someone else will beat me to it handsomely.

The ACC button and speed limiter OFF button also turns it on. It is the one directly right of the "RES" button. Press that and it will turn the ACC on or the limiter or the lot off. Have you tried pressing that to see it it's been turned off?
