2021 Audi e-tron Implausible Range Display TSB

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an implausible range display mean for my Audi e-tron?

An implausible range display means the estimated battery range shown in your instrument cluster is inaccurate. It might show a much lower range than expected, even after a full charge, or decrease rapidly and increase slowly.

What causes the Audi e-tron implausible range display?

The issue stems from a miscalculation within the high-voltage battery regulation control module, identified as J840 (address word 008C). This module's error leads to incorrect range estimations.

Are there any specific fault codes (DTCs) associated with this issue?

No, the Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 2060814/2 explicitly states that no relevant Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored in the high-voltage battery regulation control module (J840) for this specific implausible range display condition.

How is the implausible range display issue repaired?

The repair involves checking the vehicle's energy consumption data. If the values exceed a specific threshold (1.8 mi/kWh), the high-voltage battery regulation control module (J840), part number 4KE915233F, is replaced.

Is the repair for the Audi e-tron implausible range display covered under warranty?

Yes, the repair is covered under Audi's new vehicle limited warranty for up to 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles may also be covered under the G10 claim type. If your vehicle is outside of warranty, the TSB serves as informational guidance.
