2025 Audi Camera Communication Fault TSB 2080613/2

Background of the Issue

This Technical Service Bulletin, identified as TSB 2080613/2, was initially published on January 14, 2026, with a revision (Revision 2) released on February 13, 2026. The revision modified the customer statement verbiage. It's important to note that this issue was identified during the KD2 software update process and, according to Audi, has not been reported as a customer concern.

Symptoms of the 2025 Audi Camera Communication Fault

Owners of affected 2025 Audi A5, S5, Q5, and SQ5 vehicles may experience irregularities when a KD2 combined software update is performed. Specifically, the reversing camera system control unit -J772- (diagnostic address 8117) may become unreachable via ODIS-S, and diagnostic address 8117 may no longer be displayed. Attempts to re-perform the KD2 combined software update will fail, often accompanied by specific diagnostic messages.

This condition arises because the control unit for the overhead view camera -J928- (diagnostic address 006C) enters bootloader mode and cannot function correctly, leading to the 2025 Audi camera communication fault.

Fault Codes and Diagnostic Messages

When the 2025 Audi camera communication fault occurs, technicians may observe the following diagnostic messages in ODIS-S during or after the KD2 combined software update (TSB 2079690, 00 Combined software update 03.10.00/C (28.13.01) KD2):

• 8060
• 8118
• 8125
• 8090
• SDB20F0E

Additionally, the following event memory entries (DTCs) may be logged as active or static in the control unit for data bus diagnostic interface -J1273- (diagnostic address 0019):

• U170C00: "Rearview Camera System Control Module, no communication on Ethernet data bus" (symptom 4556)
• U171400: "Rear peripheral camera control module No communication on Ethernet data bus" (symptom 4557)

Diagnosis and Trigger Conditions

The irregularities and the 2025 Audi camera communication fault are specifically triggered during the KD2 combined software update. The core issue is that the overhead view camera control unit -J928- (diagnostic address 006C) enters a bootloader mode, preventing it from operating as the master function. This, in turn, makes the reversing camera system control unit -J772- (diagnostic address 8117) unavailable.

To diagnose this condition, technicians should check the code of the overhead view camera control unit -J928- (diagnostic address 006C) using ODIS-S or by reviewing the diagnostic log.

Repair Procedure Summary

If the code "000000" is logged for the overhead view camera control unit -J928- (diagnostic address 006C), replacement of this control unit is necessary to resolve the 2025 Audi camera communication fault.

The repair process involves:

1. Checking the diagnostic code for the overhead view camera control unit -J928- (diagnostic address 006C).
2. If the code "000000" is present, replacing the overhead view camera control unit -J928-.
3. Referring to instructions in ETKA and TSB 2078367, titled "91 Replacing reversing camera system control unit J772 + control unit for overhead view camera J928; Reference 2078219," for detailed replacement procedures.
