Nate4268 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Hi I have an Audi a6 2014 2.0 premium plus, I’ve been having an issue where a get brake system fault and steering fault. I thought it was the abs speed sensor and have replace both rear ones but not the front is it possible that it’s my brake pads. The car seems to reset when these faults appear just confused.

Steve Q Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 How old is the battery? A failing battery can cause all sorts of electrical gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assume not that old when I got it from the Audi dealership it seemed fine granted it is a used car so who knows how long the battery has been there. But I check my battery voltage and it seem all good and my obd didn’t show anything with a battery issue, did also get abs faults and replace my rear sensors so maybe it’s the front ones also IMG_2533.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 There should be a date on the battery in theory. But change fronts and see if that resolved the issue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that a defective battery can lead to the sort of faults the car is showing I suggest you get it professionally tested, because a simple voltage test under negligible electrical load will not reveal the real condition of the battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate4268 Posted October 16 Author Share Posted October 16 So update had a mechanic look at it and he told that a module is the causing the cause throw it’s self out of wack. I guess the next step is finding that module and the location. Honestly I never delt with the electrical side of things more the mechanical part. Does anyone think a module would be the reason for the faults? Just want my car back :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Why doesn’t your mechanic find it and replace it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate4268 Posted October 16 Author Share Posted October 16 Well he’s not my normal mechanic just someone who knows more about Audi’s cause I’m in the United States in a small town in the middle of nowhere but Im waiting to see how much he’ll charge to fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
