Possible Causes

Faulty ADC or measurement circuitry on main board, Calibration data corruption, Multiple sensor failures (current, voltage, temperature), Partial main board failure after surge or overheating

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not attempt to bypass self-test protections; they are critical for safe operation.

  • Full power reset: Turn off the breaker for at least 5 minutes, then restore power and observe the startup sequence. Note any additional codes or LED patterns.
  • Check environment: Ensure the charger is within specified temperature and humidity limits; extreme conditions can affect sensor readings.
  • Firmware reinstallation: If supported, perform a full firmware reflash via the official Audi service tool to restore calibration data.
  • Professional diagnostics: A technician should connect to the service interface to read detailed diagnostic logs and identify which internal test failed (e.g., current sensor, voltage sensor, RCD test).
  • Replace main board: In most cases of persistent E19, the main control board must be replaced as a unit.

Do not use the charger until the self-test passes successfully at startup.
