Code C1345, Linear Valve Offset, again

Well that's really strange. I replaced the brake actuator didn't even connect tech stream to bleed. And have been driving with no lights ever since. I find this very interesting but I have no idea what to tell you. I guess the linear actuator is built in to the actuator for the brakes so it's not a separate part possibly so I guess in one of these situations yeah you keep replacing that thousand plus dollar part to get one that's correct some folks that are more knowledgeable about this nonsense ought to be a long shortly It does seem very strange as one of the things I don't like about this kind of model has too much part replacing.

 

Get a new vehicle communication interface cable. Mini-VCI are know to be unreliable for some of these bi-directional routines.

Are you keeping the battery on the charger whole you are doing the linear offset procedure?

 

Is there a specific brand, link, recommendation?

 

There are plenty of posts here if the OP is interested. Tactrix Openport 2.0 (don't buy any that are significantly cheaper than $169–they are likely counterfeits–and buy only from the Tactrix website; VxDiag VCX Nano; and then there is the myriad of Mini VCI cables. These range from stupidly cheap the reasonably cheap and can be a crap shoot getting a reliable one.

 

They real tricky to find and source out the nonsense from the decent stuff unless you have a lot of money because you can buy a bunch of them so it looks like paying $150 bucks for one might turn into the smarter move or buying a bunch of $39 ones $59 $.69.95 whatever. I would think even the crappy ones would finally come up to some sort of snuff. Just because of time and standards but apparently standards like laws are made to be broken which is seemingly kind of sad because this is a pretty simple part that plugs into a universal connector and that should pretty much be that but as we see.

 

Nitpicking, perhaps, but I think the fortune cookie for C1345 is just "linear solenoid valve offset learning undone"—so, the car isn't complaining about a problem with learning the offset, but just that it hasn't yet (or it's forgotten) and needs to learn it.

There's a different code, C1368 ("linear solenoid valve offset malfunction") the car can give you if it tried to learn the offset, and the value ended up outside the believable range, which probably means the actuator's no good. (Even for that code, they say to try again, and not worry unless it happens again.)

If you're only getting C1345 coming back, I guess I'd lean toward thinking something is flaking out in your diagnostic connection before the procedure completes.
