Audi has released Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 01 23 84 2070571/2 to address a specific issue affecting certain 2022-2023 Audi A4, A5, and Q5 models equipped with 2.0L TFSI engines. This bulletin, dated October 16, 2023, supersedes an earlier TSB, Group 01 number 23-58, which was dated June 9, 2023. The TSB provides guidance to technicians when customers report a "Drive system: fault" message or an illuminated EPC light.

This TSB is particularly relevant for owners experiencing an Audi A5 P060C00 fault, as it outlines the interim steps Audi is taking while a more permanent solution is being developed. It's important for owners to understand the current diagnostic and service recommendations for this issue.

Important Warnings for Owners

Audi explicitly states that owners should be aware of the following:

  • Do not replace components: "Do not replace any components for this condition since this will not resolve the customer's concern." This means that attempting to replace parts related to the drive system or engine control module will not fix the underlying issue and is not recommended.
  • Solution pending: A permanent solution for this condition is expected to be available by the end of the 1st quarter of 2024, though this timeline is subject to change. No repairs are necessary at this point beyond the interim procedure.

Symptoms

Owners of affected 2022-2023 Audi vehicles may observe the following indicators of this issue:

  • The Electronic Power Control (EPC) light is illuminated on the dashboard. This light indicates a potential problem with the engine's electronic control system.
  • A message stating, "Drive system: fault" appears in the instrument cluster. This warning indicates a potential problem with the vehicle's powertrain or engine management system, often related to the Audi A5 P060C00 fault.

Fault Codes / DTCs

When these symptoms occur, a workshop diagnosis will typically reveal a specific Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM), identified as -J623- (address word 0001). The relevant fault code is:

Code Description Symptom Code
P060C00 Internal Control Module Main Processor Performance 44160

This P060C00 code specifically points to an internal performance issue within the main processor of the ECM, which is critical for managing engine functions.

Diagnosis and Trigger Conditions

The presence of DTC P060C00 in the ECM, -J623-, is the primary diagnostic finding for this condition. The technical background for this issue is currently

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'Drive system: fault' mean in my 2022-2023 Audi?
The 'Drive system: fault' message, often accompanied by an illuminated EPC light, indicates an issue with your vehicle's engine or powertrain control system. For 2022-2023 Audi A4, A5, and Q5 models, this is frequently linked to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P060C00, signaling an internal processor performance problem within the Engine Control Module (ECM).
What is DTC P060C00 and how is it related to the 'Drive system: fault'?
DTC P060C00 stands for 'Internal Control Module Main Processor Performance'. When this code is stored in your Audi's ECM, it means the engine's main computer is experiencing an internal processing issue. This specific fault is what triggers the 'Drive system: fault' message and the EPC light on your dashboard, as detailed in Audi TSB 01 23 84 2070571/2.
Should I replace parts if my Audi has the P060C00 fault?
No, Audi Technical Service Bulletin 01 23 84 2070571/2 explicitly states: 'Do not replace any components for this condition since this will not resolve the customer's concern.' The issue is currently under analysis by Audi, and a permanent solution is expected in the future. Replacing parts at this stage will not fix the underlying problem.
Is the repair for the Audi A5 P060C00 fault covered under warranty?
The TSB itself is described as 'informational only and not applicable to any Audi Warranty.' This means the bulletin's instructions for technicians (like clearing the DTC and creating a PSS record) are not directly warranty-claimable as a standalone repair. However, any future permanent solution or related diagnostic work may be subject to your vehicle's standard warranty coverage, depending on the specific circumstances and your vehicle's warranty status.
