Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 45 number 13-07 dated September 25, 2013 for reasons listed below. Model(s) Year A4/S4 2009 - 2013 A5/S5 2008 - 2013 A5/S5 Cabriolet, 2010 - 2013 Q5 2009 - 2013 VIN Range Vehicle-Specific Equipment All Not Applicable Condition REVISION HISTORY Revision Date Purpose 3 - Revised header data (Removed model year) Revised Service (Updated for clarity) Revised Warranty (Added TUs) 2 9/25/2013 Revised title Revised header data (Added customer codes and DTCs) 1 3/27/2013 Initial publication • The customer may complain of one of the following conditions: • Steering wheel does not lock. • Various warning lights are on. • Steering feels stiffer than usual. • The engine cannot be switched off. • The ignition key cannot be removed. • There are DTC entries present in the system (either static or sporadic): • DTCs with description “Brake control module - no signal/communication” are present in several control units. • DTC 01316 (Brake control module - no signal/communication) • DTC U012200 (ESP - no signal/communication) • DTC U012100 (ABS control module - no communication) © 2014 Audi of America, Inc.

Technical Service Bulletin • One or more of the following DTCs is stored in the ABS control module, J104 (address word 03): - DTC 00290 (008 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor, LR-G46, Incorrect signal) - DTC 00290 (012 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor, LR-G46, Electrical fault in circuit) - DTC 0283 (008 – Left Front ABS Wheel Speed Sensor-G47, Incorrect signal) - DTC 0283 (012 - Left Front ABS Wheel Speed Sensor-G47, Electrical fault in circuit) • This condition does not result in any drivability concerns. The steering system is fully connected. Technical Background The insulation for the ABS wheel speed sensor is damaged in production. Over time, this can lead to corrosion on the wires and restricted functions with the ABS control module. Only the wires in the left bulkhead grommet (Figure 1) are affected. Figure 1. Left front fender is removed to show the left bulkhead grommet Production Solution Improved installation procedure at the factory. © 2014 Audi of America, Inc. Page 2 of 6 All rights reserved.

Technical Service Bulletin Service There are two different types of service actions based on the two types of DTC entries that can be found in the system. For vehicles with the DTC description “Brake Control Module - No signal/communication” present in several control units, proceed as follows: 1. Perform a voltage drop measurement on terminal 30 (supply voltage for ABS control unit) under load (as described below). For the pin assignment, see Elsa wiring diagram. Proposed voltage drop measurement (using an A4 as an example): • Verify the fuse (SC6) is good. • Disconnect T38a connector from ABS control unit. • Apply a load with a 21W rating (1.7 A = 21 W) between pin 7 (T38a) and chassis ground. This will allow a precise voltage drop measurement across the completed circuit. • Set the digital multi-meter to DC Volts (Direct Current Voltage) • Connect the black multi-meter lead to pin 7 (T38a) and connect the red measuring lead to fuse SC6 while keeping the fuse in the socket. This will measure the voltage drop in the wiring between the fuse and pin 7 (T38a). • If the voltage drop measures over 0.3 V, the wiring loom around the grommet must be checked (Figure 2). Figure 2. Affected area of the left front wiring loom behind the fender Tip: For better access to all sections of the wiring loom, the wheel arch liner and the windscreen washing reservoir must be removed. © 2014 Audi of America, Inc.

Technical Service Bulletin 2. If damage is found, make notes of damage in repair order: • Measure the distance from the grommet front side (Figure 3, point 1) to the point of damage point (Figure 3, point 2). Include this measured distance in the repair order comments. Figure 3. Measuring point of damage in relation to the end of the grommet • Note the grommet and original harness position from inside the passenger compartment (Figure 4). Figure 4. Grommet position photo, taken from inside the passenger compartment. 3. Repair the damaged cable in the wiring loom using the VAS1978B wiring harness repair kit. 4. Remove the sections of the individual cable where the copper wires are black or corroded. 5. Pull back the insulation for the complete wiring loom, for a distance of about 40 cm from the grommet towards the front of the vehicle, and inspect for additional damage or corrosion. © 2014 Audi of America, Inc.

Technical Service Bulletin For vehicles with the DTC description “ABS Wheel Speed Sensor - Incorrect signal or Electrical fault in circuit” present in multiple control units, proceed as follows. 1. Perform the same measurements as above using the correct pin/fuse location listed in Elsa for the affected ABS wheel speed sensor. 2. Repair any damage found and ensure the black or corroded wires are removed. Warranty Claim Type: Use applicable claim type. If vehicle is outside any warranty, this Technical Service Bulletin is informational only.
