Electrical problem ABS ESP ??

Hi

Today, after work, I start engine, everything is OK, I reverse out from parking lot, change to D and... Lights come on... ABS, ESP and leveling system. I stop and start to read manual. I should be able to continue driving. I re-start engine but lights come on again. I drive few miles and I can feel that breake pedal feels totally different (softer). What have happend. After 5 minutes driving I stop again and re.start. Lights are off again and breakes feel normal.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Same issue or ... I can swear that turning signal could not keep rythm. First constant ticking and then few times rapidly and back to normal constant ticking ?? Can it be true or am I imagine??

Can anyone explain what have happened??

Thanks

Re: Electrical problem ABS ESP ??

Holly Crap, I just took my 03 Allroad in for the same exact reason, for the same exact symptom. This is so annoying that I am taking my car back for the third time now.....and they cannot figure it out. I will keep you posted if I learn anything......and I hope you will do the same.

good luck.

ABS, ESP and Auto leveling...

My ABS light came on every so often while driving and the dealer replaced the ABS control module, but it was only the ABS light, not several lights at one time.

As for the rapid blinking, car is most likely telling you that one of your turn signal bulbs is out ot ready to go out. Turn on the turn signals or hazards while parked and take a look at all of the lights...front, rear and side markers.

search the B5 S4 forum

There was some recent chatter about this multi-light problem and the solution for it.

Good luck-

Re: Electrical problem ABS ESP ??

Allroadfin,

What year & transmission do you have. Also do you have an Audi trailer hitch. This problem started for me after my hitch was installed. My thinking is maybe a wiring harness maybe loose and is causing electrical gremlins to appear.

I have an 03, with the 2.7T .

Thanks
