Owners of certain 2021-2023 Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback vehicles may experience various warning messages in the instrument cluster, often accompanied by specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). This Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 2061908/5 provides guidance for technicians to address these concerns through a software update.
Symptoms
Owners may observe the following issues:
- A yellow warning lamp with the message "Drive fault" appears in the instrument cluster while driving.
- Several warning messages, such as an "ESC message," appear in the instrument cluster after the power unit is started. These Audi e-tron warning messages P060C00 indicate a problem with the vehicle's control systems.
Fault Codes / DTCs
During diagnosis, technicians may find the following intermittent fault codes stored in the vehicle's modules:
- DTC P060C00: This code, often with symptom codes 53312 and/or 53313, is logged in diagnostic address 0051, which corresponds to the electric drive module.
- DTC C051F00: This code is logged in diagnostic address 0003, which corresponds to the ABS module.
Diagnosis
The underlying cause for these warning messages and DTCs is identified as needing software optimization in diagnostic addresses 0003 (ABS module) and 0074 (suspension control module J775). Audi has implemented production solutions for these issues, with diagnostic address 0003 using software version 0272 onwards, and diagnostic address 0074 using software version 2320 onwards.
Repair Procedure Summary
To resolve the Audi e-tron warning messages P060C00 and C051F00, technicians will perform a software update using the SVM (Software Version Management) system. The procedure involves:
