Default Dealership problem..

I took my car to the local dealership today to diagnose my limp mode problem. I posted a few days ago with some vag com fault codes with no response so i decided to take it to the ol' dealer. Oh and before I continue I did STFA and found no conclusive results.

I showed the dealter the codes and he said he can't do anything about em because I cleared em. Here is my problem, I dont want to try to get the car to go limp again because I dont want to cause any damage. So maybe one of you guys can give me some insight. Anyway my car is a 2001 S4 with 42k miles. I was in 6th gear and hit the gas the first time it went limp. I reset the codes and it did it again under WOT in 2nd gear. It pulled the following faults both times.

18010 Power Supply Terminal 30 Voltage too low P1602 - 35 - 10 intermittent

18047 Accelerator Position Sensor 1/2 G79/G185 Implausible Signs P1639 - 35 -10 Intermittent Readiness

18264 Throttle Potentiometer G69 Error from ECU P1856 35-10 Intermittent

Can someone tell me a possible cause of these errors? I already thought it may have something to do with the battery because of the voltage too low but my battery is putting out 14 volts and the terminals are uncorroded and tight. Thanks

Do you have contact info for ABT?

Default Ok so if the car only gives these faults with the ABT and not the stock, the chip is bad?

Isnt it possible that the chip pushes the system and causes the errors to come out?
