!!!!Electronic Parking Brake Malfunction!!! Workshop!

[snapdragon]

It must be that time of the year again.

I replaced the left side connector and caliper with motor over a year ago and did a really good job of the wiring repair, I'm sure it is not that and have tested the pins of the plug that goes into the control module - At the control unit plug, the readings are the same on the left and right and as directly at the caliper plug, so think the wiring and motor are OK.

For around a month, I had intermittent parking brake error messages
and the left side has had "clamping for not reached" and "implausible pad wear" errors. See screenshot, group 3 is 13A left and over 15A right. 15.0A is the minimum permitted.

After lots of playing with VAGCOM, doing adaptations, pad wear recodes, fault code resets, disconnecting the battery, it got worse and sticks on almost every time I disengage it, and I have to turn car off for a few minutes and retry and then so far has been ok. The errors are permanent now.


The control module, and caliper connector were already replaced by Audi under warranty for the original owner in 2007 so the module is a year newer than the car. They made a mess of the connector which is why I had to do it again. As you can see below, the software version is 0230

I was wondering if other A8'ers can tell me their SW version from their VCDS scans and the model year of car.
Also, the label on the control module says 023 on it and I wondered if that was to do with factory SW version.

I saw one on ebay that had a 2013 manufacturing date! but the listing was pulled by the seller.

THANKS!
