ESP/ABS/TPMS fault after carrying heavy load

[Benish7]

Hi all,

Today I carried 10 flag stones in my A6 Avant for around 1.5 miles from the local builders yard. Around half a mile in and I got an ESP ABS fault along with TPMS error and parking brake error.

It’s still an issue several hours later even without the load in now.
I have the Carista OBD scanner and these are the codes;

Engine:
04698
04699

ABS:
00486 - Tracers for Central Locking, door external grasp front seat passenger side (E370)
00365 - Line for communication interior monitoring, entrance
00393 - Display test, black segments
00398 - Finding lighting
00402 - Heating element for air additional heating system (Z35)

Airbags:
1049350

Steering wheel:
01316 - ABS Control Module

Parking brake:
459776

Power steering:
3164944


Carista is very basic and obviously a VCDS reading is needed but initially the 01316 - ABS control module seems the worst culprit here.
Elsewhere I’ve read it could just be a abs speed sensor error, and most likely on my rear right after carrying the weight.

Can anyone offer me any help?
(I’m in Harrogate, if anyone happens to be on here from the area with a scanner!!)

Thanks
Ben

Check your tyre pressures are spot on and reset them , clear the faults and see what happens. Likely the extra weight without increasing the tyre pressures has upset the system ( for want of a better way of putting it)

What he says.

Thanks for your time! Unfortunately that hasn’t worked. Still getting all the lights.

The start stop system is giving an error message in addition to the others too.

Someone suggested disconnecting the battery to try reset it. Could that work?

Is anyone able to PM vcds-harrogate for me please? I've not got enough forum posts to, and hoping he might be able to help with a scan.

Thanks

Are you sure? They haven't posted since 2014, or visited since 2016?

Ah fair enough, I hadn't noticed that.

TPMS, ESP, ABS, stop/start and parking brake warning lights are all linked to a failure of a speed sensor at a hub. The failure may be the electronic speed reader or the sensor disc which is part of the wheel bearing.

You could have tried to carry too much weight and now have knackered the bearing.

Depending on material, area and thickness a slab coukd be anything from about 30kg to 90kg. Were they like a really heavy suitcase (30kg) or two-man heavy lift?

Even ten 30kg ones woild be best distributed on footwells, etc to mimic carrying a trio of rugby players.

Do you think it might have been overloaded?

[Benish7]

They probably weighed half a bag of sand each. I didn’t think, at the time, it was a problem!

This morning when I went to the car the faults had gone, car must have reset itself. Unfortunately on the way home though they came back on. Seemed to happen after I came down off a curb after parking up.

Is it easy to see if the bearing has gone?
Would it appear cracked or such?

Thanks

Hi. Have you cleared the fault codes ? I would do that before you start worrying about something that may not be a problem, your high load may have upset some perimeter causing the codes but no damage done to any component. I would think there is a good chance they will not come back, if the do then look into what is faulty.
