Information

Replacement of AU1042 Airbag control modules will result in Component Protection (CP) DTCs which cannot be resolved using VCDS. See the Replacement section below.

Coding

Coding is performed using Software Version Management (SVM) with an online connection to Audi headquarters.

Adaptation

Adaptation is typically performed using Software Version Management (SVM) with an online connection to Audi headquarters when a brand new control module is installed.

• Adaptation Channels are available for Brake Type, Drivetrain type and Vehicle variant but we do not have documentation at this time for all control modules and vehicle variants. Registered users encountering difficulty can contact us directly via email for assistance. Include a full Auto-Scan in addition to the vehicle repair history including the replacement part numbers from all components in the Airbag system. Internal ref: FS#1165

Security Access

• Will appear in a pop-up balloon when connected to this controller with VCDS.

Special Procedures

Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706)

If the Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706) or the seat itself have been replaced, the reset has to be performed.

Prerequisites:

• The vehicle is between 5° and 35°C (40° ~ 95°F).
• Battery voltage no less than 12.4 V.
• Passenger seat is empty and in normal position.
• Seatbelt must NOT be plugged in.
• No faults in the system.
  

[Select]
[15 - Airbags]
[Security Access - 16]
Enter the code shown in the pop-up balloon.
[Do it!]
[Output Tests-03]
Select the following from the pull-down menu:
Seat occupied recognition serial number
[Start]
[Stop]

The Seat occupied recognition serial number reset has been performed. Proceed directly to the Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706): Reset

Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706): Reset

If a repair on the Seat Occupied Recognition has been performed, including the above procedure, a reset has to be performed too.

Prerequisites:

• The vehicle is between 5° and 35°C (40° ~ 95°F).
• Battery voltage no less than 12.4 V.
• Passenger seat is empty and in normal position.
• Seatbelt must NOT be plugged in.
• No faults in the system.

Select the following from the pull-down menu:
Resetting seat occupied recognition
[Start]
[Stop]

The seat occupied recognition reset reset has been performed. Fault codes should clear after an ignition cycle.

Replacement

Replacement of the Airbag control module may result in Component Protection (CP) DTCs such as U1101 and U1100. Component Protection can be learned/disabled using the factory scan tool in combination with an online connection to Audi headquarters using a process called SVM (Software Version Management). SVM is a system used by VW/Audi to flash update control modules, and in certain cases, to change their Coding, Adaptation and unlock Component Protection.

• Independent repair facilities may be able to unlock CP using an authorized Pass-Thru (J2534) with an active subscription using erWin Audi. Additional information can be found on our Official Factory Repair Information page.
  
• Even if you have a complete Auto-Scan saved prior to replacing the Airbag module and the replacement part number is EXACTLY the same we strongly recommend using SVM to code and unlock CP for liability reasons.
