Fault Codes / DTCs

This 2021 Audi Pre-Delivery Inspection Technician Reference Document does not list any specific Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) or fault codes. Its focus is on preventative checks and correct configuration rather than diagnosing existing problems.

What the Service Bulletin Says

The 2021 Audi Pre-Delivery Inspection Technician Reference Document provides a detailed checklist for technicians. This includes performing diagnostic work using a vehicle diagnostic tester, selecting the "Delivery Inspection total" program, and running a "Guided Fault Finding" process to evaluate static event memory entries.

Technicians are instructed to check all key buttons and features, test windshield and headlight washers, and install wheel bolt cover removal tools from the PDI kit. They must also set spare tire pressure according to the "Audi Normal Load Condition Tire Pressure Table" found on ServiceNet and verify battery clamp torque using Elsa Pro specifications.

Interior checks cover window, lock, seat, mirror, climate control, and power outlet operations. Specific settings like "Time source setting to GPS" and "Auto daylight savings time to on" are verified. For models with navigation, the dealership location is set, and the "Manual Speed Warning" is turned off. The document also covers ensuring the "Audi connect® Wi-Fi® hotspot" is visible and functional, with the SSID set to "AUDIXXXXX" (last five digits of the VIN).

Driving performance tests include verifying engine start-stop system functionality, checking engine performance and acceleration, and test driving to clean brake rotors. Rear view mirror calibration is also part of the process. For vehicles like the 2021 Audi e-tron, specific checks for electric motor performance are included.

What to Do

As an owner of a 2021 Audi vehicle, this document highlights the thorough inspection your car underwent before delivery. If you have any concerns about your vehicle's initial setup or believe a pre-delivery check was missed, contact your authorized Audi service center. They can review your vehicle's PDI documentation and address any questions.

For example, if you notice an issue related to the "Audi connect® Wi-Fi® hotspot" or "Manual Speed Warning" that was supposed to be configured during the PDI, your dealership can help. Understanding the scope of the 2021 Audi e-tron manufacturer communication can help you ensure your vehicle was properly prepared.
