What's this German message?

amit87 · May 5, 2019

Hi Guys,

Haven't got access to VCDS but getting this error everytime I get into the car. 2014 S3.

fahrzeugelektronik störung vor dem aussteigen p einlegen. bitte service aufsuchen

Not having any symptoms other than the message popping up.

I have extended warranty but thought I'd get some info before hand.

Thanks

Electronic fault present and put car in park before exiting vehicle. Of something like that.

amit87 · May 5, 2019

Thanks for the reply. Yes I assumed the same after translating but it's weird as I'm not seeing any other symptoms.

Might just have to take it to Audi to have a look.

Pretty much what vag-tech said: Vehicle electronics malfunction please call for service! and something about putting the car in park before getting out.

vag-tech · May 5, 2019

Yeh, first port of call full scan with VCDS -> save and clear all. Hopefully sporadic nonsense.
If you can get someone to scan post log here for help.

I’m more curious why that message is in German not English assuming you are in UK.

Some coding bit set to 1 instead of 0?

No idea why. Once before couple years ago I turned the car on and the MMI was all in German... turned car off and back on and was back in English . Unfortunately this error remains in German. Will take it to Audi under extended warranty to check it out and will post back findings.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the delay. Didn't want to take to Audi under extended warranty as if they found nothing wrong, I would have been charged for the diagnostics. Managed to borrow mates VCDS. See below: (cleared and will scan again tomorrow) the only one I am aware that was present before was the cam adjuster thingy. Been like that for couple years and been to Audi for work before and not been flagged up so potentially that one isn't important?!

Pretty sure it's the shifter mechinism. Read there might be a TSB on it but will ring up and see if they'll put a new one in under extended warranty.

Another owner has experienced this before on an RS3 and stated besides the error they had no issues.

The message now comes up in English but hope this helps someone in the future if they get it in German.

Hi all,

I recently changed my front brake pads and discs for my 2014 S3 from a non-Audi dealer (they charged half the price Audi quoted). However, I’m now getting this message on sporadic occasions.

Nothing seems wrong with the car as the message eventually disappears - however it’s become an annoyance as the alert / error message will pop up once every eight to ten times the car is driven.

Question - would anyone know if there’s the possibility of it being because of the recent change of brake pads and disc, that this message is coming up? Or would it be completely irrelevant and that really - the sensors are linked to something else?

I was thinking to take it to Audi but they are charging quite a bit just to run a diagnostic without guaranteeing a fix.

Also, the message doesn’t always appear - will they be able to identify the error still?

Sorry if some of these questions sound naive - I just thought I’d ask before making the formal decision to give Audi my cash.

Thanks in advance.

I finally booked my car in with Audi in Oct 19 (go away on holiday so will let them keep the car... free secure parking haha jk) under extended warranty so will report back what they find is the issue.

Another member on facebook group said on his RS3 it was the gearshift selector mechinism that needed replacing. He too said he had no issues besides the annoying fault popping up

Sorry if some of these questions sound naive - I just thought I’d ask before making the formal decision to give Audi my cash.

Thanks in advance.

PS although it came up in german the first few times, its constantly in english now.

Ahh right, so you’ve been having the problems since May? And though you wiped it off on your mates VCDs, the issue kept coming back?

On my car - the message came up in English (haven’t yet seen it in German).

Yes - Would be good to see what you hear back from them before I go ahead to book my car in. Unfortunately I’m out of warranty and so trying to figure out if there is anything I could do before referring to Audi

amit87 · Sep 1, 2019

Will keep you posted. Usually they give me an invoice which they null due to warranty so I'll keep you posted on howmuch too to give you a rough ball park.

Yep wiped codes twice and just came back with gear selector error on VCDS.

Message back after 16th oct and I'll be back from holiday then and hopefully with the issue rectified.

Finally taken the car in and below is their diagnostics:

Carried out diag road test .Drives ok no faults on dash.
Connect battery charger and ran gff - fault -F31 9 selector lever
locked in P switch imp signal. Ran test plan and checked mvb's
.While moving in and out of park int not showing P on mvb .
f31 9 SWITCH faulty and needs replacing-see vhc

Not sure if I should post exact quote of job as I am sure all dealers will vary ever so slightly. But just to give you a good idea... its between £950 to £1000.... more on the side if just under £1k!

1,000 quid to replace a switch!!! ....that is highway robbery

Melted1ce · Oct 9, 2019

I could almost cry just thinking of how that money would leave my account for a switch fault...

Might have to continue driving the way it is for the time being considering it’s not really a major issue.

Thanks for the post.

What is it that they are replacing?
A micro switch or the whole gear lever with all the gubbins underneath it?

> Didn't want to take to Audi under extended warranty as if they found nothing wrong, I would have been charged for the diagnostics.

I know you got there in the end, but if you presented them with the error message on display in German that's evidence there IS something wrong - if they failed to find it that's their problem not yours, right?

> 1,000 quid to replace a switch!!! ....that is highway robbery

Maybe they have to do some major work/labour to get to the (relatively inexpensive) switch? But of course their hourly rates is another discussion...

There's a TPI on Golf Mk7 for this error "B116229: Selector lever park position lock switch Implausible signal". Apparently there are two manufacturers for the gear selector lever mechanism: ZF or ECS/Küster. The ZF made ones can be fixed by replacing the switch only(5Q0 713 128 A, it's quite cheap... under 20EUR and replacing it is not that hard). After swaping the switch you need to perform basic setting of micro switch module .

For ECS/Küster made one, unfortunately, the official solution in the TPI is to replace the whole mechanism.

For anyone interested, in addition to some washers etc, the following is the part number of the shift mechinism replaced in my case:

(8v1?!)-713 023 AG

Did Audi repair it under the extended warranty?

I've had this electronics malfunction for about a month. Finally took it to a dealer. Total charge $723.56! I have 83,000 ,miles on my 2015 A3 convertible. Nice car, but this issue has me soured on Audi. The repair was to install a new externally mounted micro switch module and selector lever handle sleeve 3Q0-713-128 module and 8V0-713-169 sleeve. Repair took about 1 hour. I protested the cost but was told it is expensive to own an Audi. I guess so, since most of the forums say it is not a real problem. Audi extended their warrantee from 50K to 60K to cover this issue. I am very disappointed in Audi.

Recently I got this "Electronics Malfunction" warning on my 2015 Audi A3 with 51K miles. I took it to the dealer today and they want $1700 to repair the Shifter Assembly. I checked the part number 8V1-713-023 mentioned above which is $1007. So they want $700 for labor!!!!
Fortunately they didn't charge me for the diagnostics, but this is what they wrote in the Invoice: "CLIENT STATES INTERMITTENTLY WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE AGAIN, THERE IS AN ELECTONIC MALFUNCTION INDICATOR THAT WILL POP ON THE DASH. SOMETIMES IT WILL STAY ON FOR THE ENTIRE DAY, OTHER TIMES IT WILL TURN OFF AFTER A FEW SECONDS. -INSPECT/ADVISE? 1.0 THE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THE CLIENTS CONCERN, AND FOUND FAULT CODE SELECTOR LEVER PARK POSITION LOCK SWITCH RANGE PERFORMANCE (B116229). THE GUIDED FAULT FINDING TEST PLAN ASKED FOR THE SHIFTER SELECTOR TO BE MOVED THROUGH EACH GEAR GATE (P,R,N,D,S) AND MONITOR THE SELECTION ON THE SCAN TOOL. THROUGH EACH GATE, THE RESULT WAS "IMPLAUSIBLE". THE TEST PLAN ASKED TO CHECK FOR ANY ABNORMALITIES WITH WIRING OR DAMAGE TO THE SHIFTER MECHANISM, NONE FOUND. AS PER THE GUIDED FAULT FINDING TEST PLAN RESULTS, PLEASE REPLACE THE SELECTOR LEVEL MECHANISM, AND RETEST OPERATION AFTERWARD. CLIENT DECLINED REPAIRS."
I came back and looked for the TSB for the above code and found that an improved switch module replacement is the solution. The only bulletin that mentions replacing the shifter assembly is from 2017. They didn't even take more than 10 minutes and parked my car outside in the parking lot for the rest of the day. Either they are trying to dupe me by charging so much, when it might only be a switch replacement that's required, or they are following the older TSB.
Here is the latest TSB I found: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10173843-0001.pdf
And the above part that would cost $1K: https://parts.audiusa.com/p/Audi_20...SM-Shifter-ASSEMBLY/91025456/8V1713023AN.html

I am going to take my car to local repair shop and just change the switch module that costs hardly $15. If that doesn't solve the issue, well, time to trade-in and get the e-tron.

What's this German message?
