Technical Service Bulletin Service Tip: See the current flow diagram for the location of the J403 relay for the air supply unit and the location of the air compressor (air supply unit). 1. Check the function of the air compressor by supplying it with direct current. Determine if the air compressor is operating correctly and sounds normal, if it is unusually noisy, or if it is not working at all. 2. Check relay J403 by opening the relay and comparing it to the images below: If the relay exhibits any of the conditions A – C below, replace both the air compressor and the relay, even if the air compressor sounds normal. A) Strong erosion of both contacts (Figure 1, Figure 2). Figure 1. Strong erosion of both contacts. Figure 2. Strong erosion of both contacts. © 2013 Audi of America, Inc.
