2026 Audi e-tron GT Roll Stabilization Configuration Aborted TSB

Audi Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 2080608/1 has been issued for the 2026 Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT models. This bulletin details a specific condition where the configuration process for the vehicle's roll stabilization system is aborted during diagnostic checks. This document is concise, focusing primarily on the diagnostic messages and the steps required by technicians to address the issue, ensuring proper functionality of the 2026 Audi e-tron GT roll stabilization system.

Customer-Reported Symptoms

The TSB indicates that owners typically will not notice this issue, as it occurs during a configuration check performed in the workshop. The problem manifests as an aborted configuration process for the roll stabilization system, specifically related to the level control system, pitch and roll compensation, and damping/suspension regulation. Therefore, there are no direct customer-reported symptoms for this particular condition.

Workshop Findings and Error Messages

During diagnostic checks using the ODIS tester for diagnostic addresses 00D4 and 00D5, technicians will observe specific error messages indicating that the configuration cannot be completed. These critical messages are displayed verbatim on the ODIS tester:

• "The following event occurred: The configuration cannot be performed on the following control module: 00D4 - Sway stabilization 1"
• "The following event occurred: The configuration cannot be performed on the following control module: 00D5 - Sway stabilization 2"

These messages point to a problem with the configuration of the sway stabilization control modules, J1152 and J1153, which are integral to the 2026 Audi e-tron GT roll stabilization system. The issue is classified internally by Audi as a functionality problem, where the configuration cannot be selected or an operation sequence is incorrect, sometimes resulting in an error message from control modules or a communication malfunction.

Internal Complaint Classifications

Audi categorizes the underlying issues leading to this aborted configuration under several internal complaint types, which guide technicians in diagnosis. These classifications help pinpoint the affected systems and the nature of the malfunction:

• Chassis -> Level control system, pitch and roll compensation: Classified as a general functionality issue.
• Chassis -> Damping/suspension regulation -> Roll compensation: Classified as functionality -> cannot be selected or functionality -> operation sequence incorrect.
• Vehicle service -> Inspection, maintenance: Classified as service: process or control modules, services.
• Vehicle service -> IT systems -> SVM (Software Version Management): Classified as control modules, services -> error message.
• Vehicle service -> Vehicle diagnosis -> Guided Fault Finding (GFF): Classified as control modules, services -> with fault stored in the DTC memory.
• Chassis -> Operation, driving and brake regulation -> Stability control control module: Classified as control modules, services -> communication malfunction.

These internal codes indicate that the problem affects various aspects of the chassis and suspension control systems, particularly during diagnostic and configuration processes.

Technical Background

The Technical Service Bulletin states that there is no specific technical background information applicable to this issue. This suggests the problem is a known diagnostic or configuration anomaly rather than a design flaw requiring extensive explanation.

Production Solution

Similarly, the TSB indicates that there is no production solution applicable. This implies that the issue is not addressed by a change in the manufacturing process or components for new vehicles, reinforcing that it is a service-related configuration matter.

Detailed Repair Procedure

Audi Technical Service Bulletin 2080608/1 outlines a specific diagnostic and repair procedure to address the aborted roll stabilization configuration on the 2026 Audi e-tron GT. The repair involves using the ODIS diagnostic tester and following a precise sequence of steps to correctly configure the sway stabilization control modules:

1. Access Diagnostic System: Technicians must first connect to the vehicle and select "own test" within the ODIS tester's interface. This initiates a custom diagnostic session.
2. Navigate to Diagnostic Capable System: From the "own test" menu, proceed to "Diagnostic capable system" to access the vehicle's various control modules and diagnostic functions.
3. Select Suspension Stabilization Control Module: Navigate to and select "00D4 - Suspension Stabilization Control Module 1 -J1152- e-tron-GT Facelift (Front axle)." This targets the primary control module responsible for front axle sway stabilization.
4. Access Technical Product Information: Within the selected module's options, proceed to "00D4 - Technical product information." This section provides specific guidance and links to relevant service documents.
5. Reference Related Modules and TPIs: The system will then direct the technician to information related to "J1152 Suspension Stabilization Control Module 1" and "J1153 - Suspension Stabilization Control Module 2." Crucially, the TSB instructs technicians to reference "Technical product information TPI 2080416" or "Technical Service Bulletin TSB 2080608" for comprehensive guidance on these modules and the configuration process.
6. Control Module Identification during Test Sequence: During the subsequent test sequence, the ODIS tester will prompt with the question, “Which control module is currently installed?” Technicians must select option "2 new control module" to proceed with the configuration for newly installed or reconfigured modules.
7. Follow ODIS Instructions: The diagnostic tester will provide further, detailed instructions specific to the vehicle's current state and the required configuration steps. Technicians must meticulously follow these on-screen prompts to complete the procedure for the 2026 Audi e-tron GT roll stabilization.
8. Perform Original Work: After successfully completing all steps outlined by the ODIS tester, the original configuration check (e.g., the configuration check that initially failed) should be performed again to confirm the resolution of the issue.

Required Tools and Information

To perform this repair, technicians require access to the ODIS diagnostic tester. They must also be familiar with and consult Technical Product Information TPI 2080416 or Technical Service Bulletin TSB 2080608 for detailed instructions and background on the J1152 and J1153 Suspension Stabilization Control Modules.

Important Warnings for Owners

Audi states that if the vehicle is outside of any warranty, this Technical Service Bulletin 2080608/1 is for informational purposes only.
