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".

– 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.

The control unit for vehicle electrical system
J519 is the newly developed electronic central
electrics and comprises a comprehensive
self-diagnosis, which can be selected directly
with address word 09.
The control unit for vehicle electrical system
receives the input signals from the conven-
ience CAN BUS via the steering column
switch module or the rotary light control.

The power connections for the individual con-
sumers are driven via semi-conductor ele-
ments, e.g. transistors.
A separate supply is not required, as this is
provided by the internal electronics in the
event of a fault.

There are three control unit versions:
– "lowline" for the standard version
– "lowline" for vehicles with headlight
washer system
– "highline" for vehicles with driver informa-
tion system
The following functions are available with the
"lowline" version:
– Wash/wipe control and interval
– Hazard warning and turn signal control
– Actuation of horn and load-reduction relay
– Parking light left/right
– Side light left/right
– Main beam left/right and headlight flasher
– Number plate lightThe "highline" version implements the driver
information system function and also
performs the following control functions:
– Driving light and dipped beam left/right,
– Fog lights and rear lights,
– Reversing lights,
– Brake lights
with separate outputs to each of the individ-
ual consumers.
Light control
In the highline version, light control is trans-
mitted from the steering column switch
module or directly from the rotary light
control, via the convenience data bus, to the
vehicle electrical system control unit.

The hazard warning flasher signal is control-
led separately by the vehicle electrical system
control unit, via the hazard warning flasher
button.
If, during hazard warning flashing, the turn
signal flasher is actuated, e.g. during towing,
the hazard warning lights lose their priority
for this period.
The turn signal clicking is generated by an
integral acoustic relay in the dash panel
insert.
Turn signal/hazard warning light control
The functions:
– Anti-theft alarm flasher
– Central locking system flasher when
opening/closing
– Key-learn flasher for key adaption
– Crash flasher
– Panic flasher (USA only)
are specified by the central convenience elec-
tronics and transmitted via the convenience
data bus to the vehicle electrical system con-
trol unit, which then executes the "com-
mands".
The signal for turn signal flashing or motor-
way flashing is output via the steering column
switch module and executed by the vehicle
electrical system control unit.
For active hazard warning flasher with
ignition OFF, the flasher bulbs are actu-
ated for a shorter period in order to mini-
mise current consumption.
Motorway flashing is detected by the vehicle
electrical system control unit when the turn
signal lever is pressed and this triggers a tri-
ple turn signal flash.

Control unit for trailer recognition J345
A separate control unit is required for trailer
operation. This transmits the vehicle lighting
system convenience CAN messages from the
vehicle electrical system control unit to the
trailer lights. A parallel link from the trailer
socket to the vehicle wiring would result in
fault detection via the microprocessor in the
vehicle electrical system control unit.
The diagnostic function of the control unit for
trailer recognition is performed via the
vehicle electrical system control unit J519,
address word 09.
In the case of faulty communication
between the control unit for trailer recog-
nition and the vehicle electrical system
control unit, the rear lights are actuated
as a warning signal.

Address word 09 - vehicle electrical system/
Central convenience
electronics
Communication takes place by means of the
convenience data bus via the central conven-
ience electronics, as no separate K-wire
leads to the vehicle electrical system control
unit. For this reason, intact central conven-
ience electronics are essential for perform-
ing self-diagnosis.

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.

Radio symphony II
A 6x CD changer as well as a cassette player
are integrated in the symphony II radio.
Searching for alternative frequencies is
speeded up by the use of a second tuner. The
second tuner also allows for Traffic Message
Channel (TMC) evaluation in the background.
For further information, please refer to the
relevant operating instructions.
CAN networking in the new generation of
radios
All three radio versions are connected to the
data bus information system.

tion system:

Example:
If the radio is switched on with the ignition
key (S-contact) this requires the exchange of
data between three control units:
– Steering column electronics,
– dash panel insert (gateway) and
– radio.
If the radio does not switch on,
– the signal input in the steering column
electronics (terminal 86S),
– communication between the steering col-
umn electronics and the dash panel
(convenience data bus) and
– communication between the dash panel
and the radio
(data bus information system)
must be checked.
Diagnostics
For diagnosis of radio systems concert II and
symphony II, current consumption of aerial
diversity is monitored via the intermittent
frequency (IF) wiring.
Test mode
The new radio versions are equipped with a
test mode.
Activating field intensity measurement:
– Radio switched off
– Hold down key 1
– Switch on radio
Activating GALA display volume increase:
– Radio switched off
– Hold down key 2
– Switch on radio
