Service Misaligned parking aid sensors or various vehicle mountings can cause parking aid malfunctions. This TSB provides tips for diagnosing parking aid systems. 1. Confirm there is no obvious obstructions due to aftermarket components, physical vehicle damage, excessive dirt/snow, or stickers. 2. Check the vehicle fault memory and proceed according to GFF. If GFF identifies a problem with a specific sensor, proceed with the test plan. If GFF does not identify a specific sensor, check MVBs in the master module for the parking aid sensors. Based on the vehicle, these can be found in the guided functions or OBD of module 09, 76 or A5. Tip: Below is an example of module 76 MVB. When diagnosing the system you can check the response values for the sensors. Compare the sensor values to one another while moving a test object closer/further away, they should all respond similarly. MVBs for distance calculations (255 = no obstruction). If an obstruction is identified but none exists, proceed to step 3. Tip: Vehicles can be equipped with 4, 8 or 12 channel parking aid systems. Refer to Elsa for vehicle-specific information. 3. Check parking sensors (Figure 3) for obvious issues: Mechanical damage (stone chips, scratches). Dirt, ice, foreign bodies, and/or foil adhered to the sensor. Damage to the bumpers that may indicate an accident (or paint indicating a previous incident). Figure 3. Stone chips causing sensor failure. Page 4 of 12 © 2021 Audi of America, Inc.

Tip: Exterior damage to the vehicle, including stone chips and scratches, is not covered by Audi Warranty. When painting sensors, the special painting instructions for parking sensors in the paint repair manual must be observed. 4. Check for non-Audi Genuine Accessories which can interfere with parking aid operation, including: Aftermarket towing bar. Aftermarket lowering kit. Aftermarket spoiler or air deflector. Aftermarket bumper. 5. For 8 and 12 channel systems, check the installation of the front license plate holder for: Protrusion. The license plate and holder must fit on flat. Bent corners. Any bent-open corners may cause false readings. Correct fit. Oversized license plate holders or frames can obstruct parking aid sensors. 6. Pressure check for a tight fit and correct attachment of the parking sensors (Figure 4). If the sensor is not snug or feels loose, remove the bumper and reinstall the sensor. Figure 4.
