Possible Causes

Main board and communication module running incompatible firmware versions, Interrupted update process, Installation of incorrect firmware image, Replacement board shipped with older firmware

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Firmware issues do not usually involve high-voltage work, but do not interrupt power during updates.

  • Check firmware versions: In the Audi app or service interface, note the firmware versions of the main control board and any submodules (communication, HMI, load management).
  • Perform complete update: Use the official update process to bring all modules to the latest compatible firmware. Ensure stable power and network during the update.
  • Retry after failed update: If a previous update failed, follow Audi’s recovery procedure, which may involve a USB or wired service connection.
  • Replace incompatible module: If a recently replaced board cannot be updated to a compatible version, it may be the wrong part number for your charger model. Replace it with the correct Audi-specified board.

Do not attempt to load unofficial firmware. Use only Audi-approved software and procedures.
