Electrical system
Steering column switch
module
Due to the compact design of the newly
developed steering column switch module, it
was possible to minimise the amount of wir-
ing necessary and the space requirements.
A self-diagnosis facility for the steering col-
umn switch is now available with new switch
module.
The steering column switch module consists
of the following components:
– Turn signal switch
– Wiper switch with interval potentiometer
– Separate steering column switch cruise
control system operation
– Coil spring for diver's airbag
– Steering angle sensor for ESP
– Steering column electronics for signal con-
version and processing of drive and con-
venience CAN BUS J527
In addition, the steering column electronics
register the ignition switch signals.
Furthermore, the control buttons for multi-
function and "tiptronic" steering wheel are
registered via the steering wheel electronics
module.
Steering column switch
Detection of the respective switch positions is
effected via voltage coding, using various
resistance values in the relevant position. The
steering column electronics evaluates this
switch information and transmits it, via the
convenience CAN BUS, to the vehicle electri-
cal system control unit J519.
Cruise control system (CCS)
For ergonomic reasons, the control switch for
the cruise control system is located on the
left side of the steering column, below the
turn signal lever.
Warning lamp K31 in the dash panel insert
illuminates when the CCS is in control mode.
The modified operation of the CCS Steering
column switch function is described in the
Owner's Manual.

Steering angle sender G85
The determination of steering angle is per-
formed via optical elements in the steering
column electronics J527 and is supplied to
the drive CAN BUS.
The current steering angle position is thus
made available to the ESP control unit.
The steering column switch module
must always be coded.
For further information on the optical
steering angle sensor, please refer to
SSP 204.
Self-diagnosis
Communication between the diagnostic
tester and the steering column electronics
J527 is effected by means of the convenience
data bus via the central convenience electron-
ics J393, as no separate K wire is connected
to the steering column electronics.. (see
graphic 254 018 on Page 57)
The steering column electronics module with
operating unit for "tiptronic", multi-functions,
horn etc., is incorporated in the self-diagnosis.
Address word 16
After the addressing, the tester answers with
the text "steering column electronics".

The signals from the terminals:
– P parking light
– 86s ignition key contact
– 75 Load-reduction relay
– 15 ignition ON
– 50 starter
are transmitted to the steering column elec-
tronics J527 via conventional wiring. The
switch positions of the ignition lock are pre-
pared by the electronics, supplied to the con-
venience CAN bus and then transmitted via
the gateway to the drive and infotainment
CAN bus systems.

Electrical system
The windscreen wash/wipe relays are inte-
grated into the vehicle electrical system
control unit J519.
The washer fluid reservoir is a two-part
design for easier removal and installation.
An additional sensor is fitted for vehicles with
headlight washer system (HWS). In the
"highline" version, this is also used for the
Check system.
The purpose of the sensor, is to switch off the
HWS pump via the vehicle electrical system
control unit.
This prevents the pump running dry.
Wash/wipe system
The wash/wipe system is equipped with the
speed-dependent 4-stage interval system.
A new feature is the re-wipe function for the
windscreen washer system.
Re-wiping occurs automatically 5 seconds
after the wash procedure is completed.

Electrical system
The Audi A4 convenience system is available
with
– Anti-theft alarm
– Ultrasonic interior monitor
– Shattered glass sensor (Avant)
– Towing protection
as optional extras.
The anti-theft alarm is only activated when
the vehicle is locked via the radio remote con-
trol and by closing the driver's door.Deactivation is performed by
– opening the vehicle via the radio remote
control or
– opening the vehicle via the driver’s door
lock cylinder and switching on the ignition
within 15 seconds. If this time period is not
observed or if the key used is not stored in
the immobiliser, the alarm is triggered.
Data exchange between the immobiliser in
the dash panel insert and the central conven-
ience electronics takes place via the conven-
ience data bus.

Functional mechanism of inclination sender
Towing protection is achieved by means of
the inclination sender installed in the central
convenience electronics.
The functional mechanism of the inclination
sender is based on the determination of
resistance changes relating to the volumetric
fluctuation of a viscous electrically conduc-
tive fluid.
Electrical system
SSP254_110
The resistance is stored at the moment of
activation of the anti-theft alarm.
Changes in the position of the inclination
sensor caused by one-sided lifting of the
vehicle alter the resistance. The alarm is trig-
gered.
The angle of inclination can be displayed in
the measured value blocks.

Electrodes
Operational
amplifier

Variously arranged electrodes project into
this fluid.
Alternating fields are applied to the elec-
trodes of the sender, which is divided into
sub-compartments.
When a change in position occurs, the distri-
bution of the fluid in the chambers also
changes.
As the level of the liquid in the sub-compart-
ments changes, the resistance determined for
the sub-compartments via the electrodes also
changes.

Heater/AC
Operating and display unit E87.
The redesigned system is based on the
performance data for top of the medium
range vehicles, taking account of low system
weight and energy consumption as well as, to
an increasing extent, recycling capability.
The operating and display unit E87 is
connected to the convenience CAN bus.
Diagnosis takes place via the K-wire.
Design and function
The air conditioner represents a further devel-
opment of the two-zone air conditioning
concept previously used in the A6.
Innovations include:
– Individual temperature control for both
driver and front passenger
– Option of synchronising the temperature
zones for driver and front passenger by
pressing the ”Auto” button for approx.
three seconds.
Example:
If the same temperature is desired for the
passenger’s side as for the driver’s side,
the ”Auto” button should be pressed for at
least three seconds.
The same applies the other way round, for
making the driver’s side temperature the
same as that of the passenger’s side.
– The fault diagnosis and measured value
blocks for the seat heating system are read
out via address word 08 for the air condi-
tioner.
– The system is encoded automatically via
the dash panel insert.– Integrated rotary control knob with poten-
tiometer for seat heating.
(this means the potentiometers cannot be
replaced individually)
– Intake blower V42 for passenger compart-
ment temperature sensor G56 is integrated
and cannot be replaced individually.
A distinction is made between eight different
versions, identified by means of the part
number index:
– with or without seat heating
– with or without navigation system,
– at a later date, with or without air quality
sensor.
