Late model Audis have a known issue where the pressure sensor for the brake booster goes bad. It will trigger a warning (yellow, low priority) that there is an issue with the brake servo, and you can continue driving. When pulling codes it will indicate that the vacuum pressure was too low. If this error is stored 20 times, the ABS module memory is filled up. The message on the IP will change to "ABS Fault. Stop Immediately". The car remains fully functional and it is safe to drive though. The only fix is to replace the ABS module entirely. This can only be done at the dealer or a shop with access to Audi servers in order to code the new module and lift the component protection. The cause is the pressure sensor on the brake booster, which costs about $20... |

ABS Control Module. Part ordered by warranty was used and ended up being defective. Second part on order. ABS, ESP and Brake lights all flash due to a communication problem with the module. Car still runs fine but it's annoying. Warranty refuses to buy new part. Keeps installing used parts. 3rd used module has been installed but the problem still exists. Faulty module means no ABS or traction control while driving. Problem ongoing for over a month. |
