Selector mechanism function test
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2009 Audi A4, 2008 Audi A4, 2007 Audi A4, 2006 Audi A4, and 2005 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- In selector lever positions "S" , "D" , "R" and "Tiptronic gate" the starter motor will not operate.
- If selector lever position "N" is selected at speeds greater than 5 km/h, the selector lever lock solenoid must not engage and block selector lever. Selector lever can be shifted into driving gear.
- For speeds below 2 km/h (almost standstill) and shifting into selector lever position "N" , the shift lock solenoid must only engage after approx. 1 second. Selector lever can only be shifted out of position "N" with brake pedal operated.
Selector lever in "P" position and ignition switched on:
- Do not operate brake pedal.
- Selector lever is locked and also cannot be shifted out of position "P" while locking button on selector lever handle is pressed. Shift Lock Solenoid N110 blocks selector lever.
- Press brake pedal and hold.
- Shift Lock Solenoid N110 releases selector lever. It must be possible to select a driving mode without "hitching" while locking button on selector lever handle is pressed.
- Slowly shift selector lever from "P" through "R, N, D, S" , checking whether Transmission Range (TR) Display Y6 in instrument cluster matches selector lever position.
Selector lever in "N" position and ignition switched on:
- Do not operate brake pedal.
- Up to approx. 08.01: Selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted out of position "N" without pressing button on selector lever handle. Shift Lock Solenoid N110 blocks selector lever.
- As of approx. 08.01: Selector lever is not locked immediately when rapidly shifting through position "N" (e.g. from "R" to "D"). This enables e.g. "forward and reverse maneuvers" when vehicle is stuck. Shift lock engages when selector lever is located in "N" for longer than approx. 1 s with brake not being pressed.
- Operate brake pedal.
- Shift Lock Solenoid N110 releases selector lever. It must be possible to select a driving mode without "hitching" while locking button on selector lever handle is pressed.
Selector lever in position "D" , ignition switched on:
- Shift selector lever into "Tiptronic gate".
- Brightening of "D" symbol must go out in selector mechanism cover and "+" and "-" symbols must light up.
- The Transmission Range (TR) Display Y6 in instrument cluster must change from "PRND" to "654321" or (from VIN 8E_5400001) from "PRNDS" to "7654321" when selector lever is shifted into "Tiptronic Gate".
If specified values are not obtained:
- Adjust selector lever cable → Selector lever cable (through VIN 8E_6A156499), adjusting .
- Check ignition key removal lock.
