2016-2025 Audi e-tron HV Module Documentation TSB

Audi has issued Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 93 24 35 2067544/4, which provides critical information regarding the documentation of high-voltage cell module labels when replacing HV modules in various e-tron models. This TSB, dated November 22, 2024, supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 93 number 24-13 from September 18, 2024.

The primary purpose of this bulletin is to ensure proper traceability and facilitate the analysis and recycling of replaced high-voltage components. This process is crucial for managing the lifecycle of high-voltage battery modules.

Why This Documentation Matters

Audi AG has a strong interest in analyzing replaced high-voltage modules. Accurate documentation ensures better traceability, which is essential for any future analysis requests or recycling efforts. This helps Audi understand potential issues and improve future designs.

Proper Audi e-tron module documentation also streamlines the processing and transport of these specialized components. Without the correct documentation, high-voltage modules cannot be transported or recycled efficiently.

Important Warnings for Technicians and Owners

Audi emphasizes several critical points regarding the handling and documentation of high-voltage modules:

• Do not dispose of removed high-voltage modules without prior consultation. Technicians must contact their importer to clarify the proper procedure before disposal.
• A high-voltage battery or high-voltage module must always be classified before removing the battery/module. Without classification, a high-voltage battery or high-voltage module cannot be transported or recycled.
• The warranty claim will not be paid until the information label is uploaded to Doc-IT for every high-voltage cell module removed. This highlights the importance of following the documentation steps precisely for warranty purposes.

Documentation Procedure Summary

When a high-voltage module is replaced as part of a high-voltage battery repair, specific documentation steps must be followed to ensure proper Audi e-tron module documentation. These steps are crucial for traceability and warranty processing:

1. Document VIN on Module: Using a waterproof pen, technicians must write the vehicle's chassis number (VIN) from which the high-voltage cell module was removed directly onto every removed high-voltage module.
2. Upload Serial Number Picture: Technicians must take a picture of the information label from each removed high-voltage cell module. This picture, clearly showing the serial number, must then be uploaded to Doc-IT within the Audi Warranty Online system. Examples of these labels can be seen in Figure 1 (for Audi e-tron Quattro with part number 4KE.915.591.H) and Figure 2 (for Audi Q5 PHEV with part number 80A.915.100.E) of the TSB.

Failure to upload the information label to Doc-IT for every removed high-voltage cell module will result in the warranty claim not being paid.
