Title: A4 b5 tdi Edc15 brake light switch coding/delete Post by: Pepe on February 10, 2018, 02:02:27 AM Hi folks
I have an Audi A4 b5 tdi with the Edc15 ECU and it has fault code 16955/P0571/001393 - Brake Light Switch (F): Implausible Signal I have replaced it about 4 times, changed every single bulb, checked all wiring and connectors and still the code persists, I fear it might be a problem with the clocks? you cannot delete it as soon as you press clear it reappears, brake lights work perfectly, but obviously cruise no longer does! I was wondering if there is a way to code this out as it activated the flow plug warning light and it’s annoying as hell and also prevents me from being alerted if there is a real issue with the car! If I could code this out and keep cruise that would be amazing! Thanks in advance!

Have you tried changing out the ECU? I have seen a bad board do this a few times. Christian Title: Re: A4 b5 tdi Edc15 brake light switch coding/delete Post by: Pepe on February 12, 2018, 02:29:52 AM Hi,
Thanks for the advice, I have not tried an ecu yet, but I hav noticed they can be had fairly cheaply Would I need to do an immo defeat on this version of ecuif I was to swap it out? (I know on some early 2000’s vag stuff it can be done in VCDS) Cheers Title: Re: A4 b5 tdi Edc15 brake light switch coding/delete Post by: _nameless on February 12, 2018, 05:24:43 AM (I know on some early 2000’s vag stuff it can be done in VCDS) Well then you dont knkw too much because youd be wrong. Immo off has nothing at all to do with vcdsCheers Title: Re: A4 b5 tdi Edc15 brake light switch coding/delete Post by: HelperD on February 14, 2018, 12:28:00 AM Hi, Thanks for the advice, I have not tried an ecu yet, but I hav noticed they can be had fairly cheaply Would I need to do an immo defeat on this version of ecuif I was to swap it out?

Immo off is also an option, but wouldn't be achievable through VCDS.

Immo off has nothing at all to do with vcds Sorry my mistake was rushing when I responded to the thread, I meant to recode the ecu to the cars transponder/keys etc so that the immo still works, which can be done within VCDS, but thanks for your helpful reply....

Immo off is also an option, but wouldn't be achievable through VCDS. Thought as much, thanks again. I’ll get another ecu ordered, give it a shot and report back then it’s onto some mapping to better support my mods! Suppose I can always use the old ecu as a test unit |
