Hi guys,

I'm really scratching my head with this one!

I have a VERY intermittant fault on my A4 2.0tdi (170) 2006. Sounds bizarre, but temps typically above 7-8 degrees and my Engine Management Light comes on. It will stay on for say 3 to 4 days then go off, then come on again at a later date, really driving me mad!!

VAG-COM 311.2-N is throwing out the following:

1 Fault Found:
01139 - Central Locking Switch: Front Passenger Door Unlocking
006 - Short to Plus

When I clear the fault, the light goes out for maybe 24hrs then will re-appear.

Why is the Central Locking causing my Eng Mangment Light to come on????

What does the error code mean?

What's the fix - if any???

Many thanks guys, this is driving me MAD!!!!!!!
 
that fault wont make the light come on
 
Where do you find the fault definitions starting with a 0? I stuck a mates cheap code reader on mine and it came up with a 0 code but all I can find on the internet is ones starting with "P".
