WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Audi SQ8, 2023 Audi RS Q8, and 2023 Audi Q8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- ABS malfunctions do not affect the brake system and the booster. The conventional brake system remains operative even without ABS. A change in braking behavior must be anticipated. When the ABS indicator lamp comes on, the rear wheels may lock prematurely when braking.
- The ABS is maintenance-free.
- Testing, assembly, and repair work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
- By not observing the points described in the repair information, the system can be damaged and vehicle safety could be compromised.
- Before performing repair work on the ABS, determine the cause of the malfunction using On-Board Diagnostics (OBD).
- Disconnect the battery ground cable when the ignition is switched off.
- When handling brake fluid, observe the relevant safety precautions and notes. Refer to BRAKE FLUID GENERAL INFORMATION .
- Bleed the brake system using the Bleeding Equipment:VAS6860 or Brake Charger/Bleeder Unit: VAS5234 for all work that requires opening the hydraulic system. High and low pressure testing should also be performed on the brake system.
- During the final road test, make sure that an ABS-controlled brake test is performed at least once (pulsation must be felt at the brake pedal).
