2022-2023 Audi e-tron GT Invalid DTCs Stored TSB

Audi has issued Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 00 22 61 2064083/2, updated on November 15, 2022, to address a common concern regarding Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in 2022-2023 Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT models. This bulletin supersedes the previous TSB Group 00 number 21-49, dated July 14, 2021.

The TSB clarifies that certain invalid DTCs may be stored in the vehicle's diagnostic system, even though all vehicle functions are operating normally. This means that if you own a 2022-2023 Audi e-tron GT and encounter these specific fault codes, there is no underlying problem with your vehicle's performance or safety.

What Owners Might Notice

Owners of affected 2022-2023 Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT vehicles will typically not experience any noticeable symptoms or functional issues. These invalid DTCs are usually discovered during routine pre-delivery inspections (PDI) or other diagnostic work performed by technicians. The vehicle will continue to operate as expected, with no impact on its driving characteristics or features.

Technical Background

Audi explains that the presence of these stored faults is a result of ongoing changes in production processes and updates to the ODIS diagnostic software. These changes can cause the diagnostic tester to display or store various fault codes, even when the vehicle is perfectly fine. The key takeaway is that these are false positives, and the vehicle does not have a genuine problem.

Important Warnings for Owners and Technicians

Audi's TSB 00 22 61 2064083/2 includes critical instructions:

• "Do not perform any repairs. Any repairs for this concern may be denied."
• "The DTC codes listed below with no customer concern or functional issue can be ignored as they have no impact on vehicle operation."
• "DTCs listed below do not require a TAC ticket for repair authorization reporting."

These warnings emphasize that attempting to repair these non-existent issues is unnecessary and could lead to denied warranty claims. Technicians are advised not to open technical assistance cases for these specific DTCs.

Fault Codes / DTCs

The following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may be stored in various control modules of the 2022-2023 Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT models, despite no functional issue being present:

Owner Action

If you own a 2022-2023 Audi e-tron GT or RS e-tron GT and a diagnostic scan reveals any of the listed DTCs without any corresponding functional problems, there is no need for concern or action. These codes are considered invalid and do not indicate a fault requiring repair. You do not need to take your vehicle to a dealership specifically for these codes. If you have any questions or experience actual functional issues, consult with an authorized Audi service center.
