VCDS Support Needed for turning off errors

[sc00byd00byd00]

Evening all,

Would like some support in turning off my brake pads warning on my '08 A6 LeMans, the brake pads are fine (and only recently replaced), but would appear that the sensor cable has been damaged.
I've been informed that this is possible but I can't find it for the life of me using my Gendan VCDS Cable. (The constant warning beep is starting to do my head in)

Also, i've done a full scan using my cable and there is no error relating to the brakes.

Additionally, i've also got an error (amongst many others) but all my bulbs are fine and I have replaced twice (and any advice on the other error codes would be helpful)

(Given its now nearly on 200k I'm starting to think I should just bite the bullet and get a new car)

I used to get this brake and bulb warning when my battery was knackered on my B7 A4. How old is your battery?

I used to get this brake and bulb warning when my battery was knackered on my B7 A4. How old is your battery?

I got the car in 2021 and I'm pretty sure the battery got replaced about a year or two afterwards so it's less than four years old.

I'm also getting issues such as "ignition lock" if I put the key in the barrel and try to turn it too quickly.

I wonder if that's what those "Quiescent" errors are on the Battery Regul. Labels ?

Hmm, it shouldn't have failed in that time, but it's not impossible. It might be worth getting the battery checked anyway to rule it out.

It could be something causing battery drain (do you have a dashcam?). I found this: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/41931/
