2021-2025 Audi Driver Assist System Unavailable DTC B200FF2

Audi has released Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 96 24 06 2075891/1 to address a common concern where various camera-based driver assist systems become sporadically unavailable. This issue affects a range of 2021-2025 Audi models and is typically accompanied by specific warning messages on the instrument cluster and the storage of a particular diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

This TSB provides guidance for technicians to diagnose and resolve the Audi driver assist system B200FF2 issue, ensuring that owners can maintain full functionality of their vehicle's advanced safety features.

Symptoms

Owners of affected Audi vehicles may notice that various camera-based driver assist systems become sporadically unavailable. This can lead to one or more of the following messages being displayed on the instrument cluster:

• "Audi pre sense: fault."
• "Traffic sign recognition: fault."
• "ACC with traffic jam assist: unavailable."
• "Audi active lane assist: currently unavailable."

In some cases, depending on the driving situation, the vehicle might self-correct after a short period, or an ignition cycle may be required to clear the message.

Fault Codes / DTCs

When these symptoms occur, workshop findings indicate that the following diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is sporadically stored in the Front Camera for Driver Assist Systems (control unit R242, address word 00A5):

Code	Description	Symptom Code
B200FF2	Internal malfunction	1123875

This Audi driver assist system B200FF2 code points to an internal issue within the camera system.

Important Warning

Audi explicitly states a critical caution regarding this issue in TSB 96 24 06 2075891/1:

"Do not replace any parts. Replacing parts will not remedy the customer complaint. Unnecessarily replaced parts or labor will be denied under warranty."

This means that attempting to replace components will not fix the problem and will result in unnecessary costs, which Audi will not cover under warranty. The solution is diagnostic, not hardware replacement.

Repair Procedure Summary

The repair for the Audi driver assist system B200FF2 involves a straightforward diagnostic step. Technicians are instructed to clear the DTC B200FF2 (Internal malfunction, symptom code 1123875) using the ODIS diagnostic system. This procedure resets the fault code within the Front Camera for Driver Assist Systems (R242) control unit, often resolving the sporadic unavailability of the driver assist features.
