Technical Background
Production Solution
New software in the Engine Control Module resolved the problem.
Service
1. Check the ECM to ensure it has not been tuned.
NOTE:
Any Update Programming procedure (flash) may overwrite any tuned ECM or TCM programming. A tuned ECM or TCM is described as any
ECM or TCM altered so as to perform outside the normal parameters and specifications approved by Audi of America, Inc.
Current Tuned ECM or TCM Requirements
If you encounter a vehicle with a tuned ECM or TCM, your dealership must do the following before performing any procedure that updates ECM
or TCM programming:
a. Notify the owner that their ECM or TCM was found to have been tuned.
b. Notify the owner that any damage caused by the tuning of the ECM or TCM (including any adverse emissions consequences) will not be
covered by Audi of America, Inc. warranties.
c. Obtain the owner's written consent (see attached Control Module Tuning form) for any requested repair - under warranty or outside warranty -
that requires flashing that will automatically overwrite the tuned program.
