Part No SW: 4E0 910 517 J HW: 4E0 614 517 CP
Component: ESP 5.7 allrad H50 0540
Coding: 0008357
Shop #: WSC 02313 000 00000
VCID: 2A511C7185E4089

1 Fault Found:
00003 - Control Module
014 - Defective

I have no warning lights on the dash or when previously using the 'check' button. (Only found out about that feature watching my 4 yr old son press every button on the car). The ABS seems to work well. We had to avoid a Merc entering our lane at speed in the wet, to avoid a car that stopped in front of it on the toll roads in France while away. The ABS and ESP seemed to do their jobs immensely.

Anyone have any experience of this fault?

I am afraid you will have to live with that fault.
I have it too cannot get rid of it even tried swapping out the abs module.
Some say it's corroded wires going to the abs.
Does not seem to affect anything.

Cheers mate. I'm happy to live with it. Gone are the days where I'd have to have everything perfect. As long as it functions like it should, that's fine with me.

It seems not to worry anything.
If you google it you will find lots with the same error code going crazy trying to get rid of it

I've lived with mine for over two years and she stops whenever I request her to (the brakes on the 8 also work).
I guess it will be with us until the day one of us passes

When you've swapped the abs module you will always get that error unless you got a brand new one and had it fitted by Audi - at least that's what I'm led to believe

A couple of years ago.
I bought a used abs and got same error as the original.
Thought this one has the same problem.
Sent the new used one away to get reconditioned in the states.
Installed it when it came back.
Guess what "........same error code.

So live with it unless you want to try a new abs.

Also heard it's doing the brake testing routine with the vag com that does it.
I know I did it before I noticed the error code

A man on another forum had this problem and a couple of people in the thread said it was caused by running output tests - eventually, he bought a used one and fitted it and had no errors, but the daft brush then ran the output tests and it happened again. People on the thread chastised him for ignoring their warnings.

It is a shame that it happens as nobody likes error codes and if it did really become defective you would'nt know as it always says it.
It also can set errors in other modules which have an error saying error in ABS module.

Seeing as I have the fault five times does this mean that if I do the output tests I will then have it sixfold?

I have not seen it as multi faults.
Try it and find out

I'll have to take something first to build up Dutch courage
My luck is that it will break something else
