Hello,
I have a fault with my Advanced Key and One-Touch Memory, which has now got me stumped and I'd like to see if any of you have any ideas before I pay Audi lots of money. The fault manifests itself thus:
* The car cannot be unlocked from the outside from either key or from any door using advanced key. Using the unlock buttons on either key works fine.
* The car cannot be locked from the outside using the locking buttons on any of the doors and with either key present. Using the lock button on either key works fine.
* The engine cannot be started using the start button with either key present in the car. Using either key in the ignition lock works fine. The stop button will stop the engine.
* The one touch memory cannot be programmed via MMI - Car - Users - User 1 - Select Finger. The error message "Communication error. Please try again." is displayed immediately on selecting a finger. If the start button is already pressed while selecing a finger the message "Please release identification sensor." is displayed. On releasing the start button "Communication error. Please try again." is displayed.
The 05-Acc/Start Auth module has a stored fault code indicating "Electrical Fault in Circuit". The 1D-Driver Ident module has no stored fault codes. Both parts 4E0 909 131 C (the Acc/Start Auth and Immobiliser) and 4E2 905 218 (the Driver ident module) appear ok visually and so do their electrical connections. (Fault codes listed below.)
Measuring blocks from the Acc/Start Auth module indicate that the door handles, lock buttons and proximity sensors operate correctly, with none stuck on, except for the passenger door proximity sensor which does not detect proximity at all. I have not found any measuring blocks that display values from either the external or internal advanced key antennas. Measuring blocks indicate there are three keys with status 11000000 (I presume these are my two advanced keys and the plastic spare), that there are 3.0 adapted keys and that START 1, START 2, STOP 1 and STOP 2 are detected correctly.
Causing the Driver Ident module to output a simulated identification for a user causes a correct memory recall in seats, steering wheel, mirrors, aircon and radio. Scanning measuring blocks from the Driver Ident module while attempting to learn a new finger (when the MMI displays "Communication error") causes VAG-COM to loose it's connection to the module.
I think I have two separate problems:
* The Acc/Start Auth & Immobiliser cannot detect the advanced keys for some reason. Maybe there's a fault with a connection to an antenna?
* The Driver Ident module cannot read a fingerprint. Maybe the module is faulty?
The two modules can see each other, at least in part, as shown from measuring blocks.
I guess my current questions are:
* What does the "Electrical Fault in Circuit" from the Acc/Start Auth & Immobiliser mean?
* What does the "Communication error..." displayed on the MMI screen mean?
* Is there some way of seeing data from the advanced key antennas?
The car is a rather lovely 2003 Audi A8 D3/4E 4.2 Quattro.
Thanks for reading and I hope someone has some suggestions for me, :-)
