Technical Service Bulletin 17 Dashboard lights may flicker under hard acceleration or when engine is revved 17 14 48 2036194/1 January 14, 2014. Model(s) Year VIN Range Vehicle-Specific Equipment S6 2013-2014 All Not Applicable S7 2013-2014 All Not Applicable RS7 2014 All Not Applicable S8 2013-2014 All Not Applicable R8 2008-2014 All Not Applicable Condition The dashboard lights and controls may briefly flicker under hard acceleration after downshifting or when the engine is revved while the vehicle is stationary. The issue does not occur during normal driving, and all instrumentation continues to operate correctly. Technical Background During periods of low electrical load (and especially when the battery is fully charged), the energy spike generated by the alternator due to the rapid increase in engine speed cannot be completely absorbed by the vehicle electrical system. This leads to a voltage increase that can cause some modules to initiate overvoltage protection. The condition is very brief and is considered normal. Production Solution Not applicable. Service Explain the Technical Background to the customer. Do not perform any repairs. Any repairs for this condition may be denied.
