ODIS error codes

FAZ4160E — ODIS online error, cause and fix

FAZ4160E is a server-side error during ODIS online work. It is resolved on the authorization side — send us the log and we restore the session.

What FAZ4160E means

FAZ4160E is returned by the Volkswagen Group backend when an online session cannot be completed as requested. Unlike key-related FAZ15xx answers, this one is handled on the authorization side.

It can appear during immobilizer work, component protection removal or SVM operations.

What we need from you

The ODIS log of the failed session and the VIN. Send both on WhatsApp — the log shows the exact server answer and the step where the session stopped.

How it is fixed

We restore access on our side and you repeat the operation in the same session. No new payment is needed for a session that failed with FAZ4160E.

Frequent questions

Is FAZ4160E related to ERP4711E?

Both are handled on our side and often appear in the same kind of failed session. Send the log and we deal with whichever the server returned.

Should I keep retrying the operation?

No. Repeated retries do not change the server answer — send the log instead.

Does the fix cost extra?

No, it is covered by the session you already paid for.
