WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2003 Audi S8, 2003 Audi A8, 2002 Audi S8, 2002 Audi A8, and 2001 Audi S8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The control module for parking aid is controlled by an internal microprocessor with On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability. If malfunctions occur in monitored sensors and components, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) will be stored in memory.
Before performing any troubleshooting or inspection, always begin by checking for DTCs using the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) program. DTCs stored in memory are retrieved/checked with either the VAG 1551 scan tool or VAS 5051 in mode "Self Diagnosis". See ACOUSTIC PARKING SYSTEM, ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) .
Where applicable, also use VAS 5051 tester in mode "Guided Fault Finding".
