Battery change history
Data for the last three battery changes is stored.
Power balance history – driving (= engine on)
The power balance and duration of the last five
journeys are logged.
Power balance history – idle (= engine off)
The power balance and duration of the last five idle
times are logged.
Other data is not relevant for Customer Service.
History dataThe diagnosis tester can be used to read out
data from the control unit for power management,
which makes it much easier to analyse the on-board
power supply and the battery.
Open-circuit voltage history
If the battery open-circuit voltage is less than the
threshold values of 12.5 volts, 12.2 volts and
11.5 volts, an entry is written to the history data.
The last four entries can always be read out.
Voltage measurement starts when
– CAN Convenience is in Sleep mode and
– terminal 15 is switched off for at least 2 hours
and
– the vehicle’s power consumption is < 100 mA.
Voltage measurement ends when
– the voltage increases or
– the current increases or
– the control unit triggers Sleep mode or
– the control unit detects a new battery.
Closed-circuit current history
If the closed-circuit current exceeds the threshold
value of 50 mA, an entry is written to the history
data. The last ten entries can be read out.
Current measurement starts when
– CAN Convenience is in Sleep mode and
– terminal 15 is switched off for at least 2 hours
and
– the vehicle’s power consumption is > 50 mA.
Current measurement ends when
– the current decreases or
– the control unit triggers Sleep mode.
Breakdown analysis
If the control unit for power management detects
the status "Cannot start vehicle", an entry is written
to the history data.
Cut-off level history
Data for the last 15 cut-off levels is stored.
Steady battery dischargeThe battery condition is 100 % when the battery is
charged.
As soon as cut-off level 1 is activated, the MMI
"Battery condition" display drops to 90 % and then
goes down to 60 % in steps. If cut-off level 1, 2 or 5
is set when the display reads 90 %, the message
"Power-saving mode active" app ears fo r a sho r t time
on the central display of dash panel insert J285.
In addition, the battery symbol in the dash panel
insert indicates power-saving mode for the entire
load switch-off duration.
As soon as cut-off level 3 is activated, the "Battery
condition" display drops to 50 % and then goes
down to 20 % in steps.
If the battery condition drops to 10 %, cut-off level 6
is active. In cut-off level 6, the message
"B AT TERY LOW" appears in the central di splay of the
dash panel insert after the ignition is switched on.

The Advanced Key system was introduced with the
Audi A8 '03 and has been fundamentally revised for
the Audi A6 ’05.
The most important new feature is that the control
unit for access and start authorisation has been
combined with the actuator for steering column
locking.

Division of functions
System control is broken down into three basic
modules:
– the control unit for access and
start authorisation J518,
– the antenna read-in unit for keyless access
authorisation J723 and
– the switch for access and
start authorisation E415.
All three components communicate with each other
over a local single-wire bus.
The control unit for access and start authorisation is
the master of the system and a participant on
Convenience. The same control unit is installed for
all system versions.
The antenna read-in unit for keyless access
authorisation is only installed with the
Advanced Key option. It serves as the interface
between the antennae, sensors and the control unit
for access and start authorisation.
The switch for access and start authorisation is
installed in various versions, depending on the
transmission, radio frequency of the central locking
system and the Advanced Key option. An evaluation
electronic device is also integrated into the switch.

Ve rs i on s
The switch for access and start authorisation is
available in the following versions:
– with and without Advanced Key function
– with and without ignition key anti-removal lock
– for radio frequencies of 315 MHz, 433 MHz or
868 MHz
Functions
The switch for access and start authorisation
includes other functions apart from the ignition
switch function:
– Evaluation of the key position of the ignition
switch:
The ignition switch evaluates the ignition key
position using four switches.
The switch information is transferred to the
control unit for access and start authorisation in
binary code via the local bus and also for
monitoring purposes, via two lines.
The lock barrel in the ignition switch is not coded
mechanically, which means that the turning
movement can be performed with every
A6 '05 key.
– Safety branch for the steering lock of the control
unit for access and start
authorisation:
In addition to the switch-offs in the control unit
for access and start authorisation, the voltage
supply for the motor of the electromechanical
steering lock is interrupted in the switch for
access and start authorisation in order to
prevent the steering column locking
automatically.
If terminal 15 is switched on, the voltage supply
is always switched off.

– Reading in position P of the automatic
transmission from the switch for gearbox
position P F305:
The signal is used to activate the integrated,
magnetic ignition key anti-removal lock. If the
vehicle battery is flat, the key can be removed by
pressing the mechanical emergency release.
– Reading in the information from the button for
access and start authorisation E408 (only for
vehicles with Advanced Key):
Fo r s a fe t y r e as o n s , t h e p o s i t i o n s o f t h e b u t to n fo r
access and start authorisation are evaluated by
the switch for access and start authorisation.
–
– Reading in the information from the antenna for
central locking and anti-theft warning
system R47:
The switch for access and start authorisation
passes the data, which the vehicle key sends via
remote control, on to the control unit for access
and start authorisation. The control unit
evaluates the data.
– Reading in the signal from the brake light
switch F (only for vehicles with Advanced Key):
To start the vehicle using the button for access
and start authorisation, the brake pedal must be
actuated.
– Exchanging data with the key using the
integrated read coil:
If a key is inserted into the switch for access and
start authorisation (= S contact on), the
electronics system transmits electric power into
the key via the read coil. The key then sends the
key identification into the switch via the
transponder and the read coil. This sends the
information to the control unit for access and
start authorisation.

The electromechanical steering column lock was
integrated into the control unit for access and start
authorisation.
Functions
– Terminal control:
The control unit for access and start
authorisation puts the information about
terminal 15, 75x, 50, S and P on
CAN Convenience.
The control unit also activates the relays for
terminal 15 and 75x and passes the start request
signal on to the engine control unit.– Locking the steering column:
The motor and gears for locking the steering
column are integrated into the control unit for
access and start authorisation.
The position of the lock is checked using two
integrated micro switches. Terminal 15 is only
switched on after the steering is unlocked fully.
– Immobiliser and component protection:
The control unit is the master for these
functions.

– CAN Communication:
The control unit is a participant on
CAN Convenience. Data exchange between all
the components of the access and start
authorisation system is performed via the
control unit.
It is also the diagnosis interface for the
components involved. All data, e.g. code,
immobiliser data, etc. is stored in the control unit
for access and start authorisation.
– Reading in the P/N signal from the control unit
for automatic transmission J217:
The signal is used to activate the displays
relating to engine start in dash panel insert J285.
