Default ESP FAULT SEE OWNERS MANUAL on startup

Hello, I have a 2007 A6 and sometimes when I put the key in I get and ESP FAULT, and the lamp stays if I turn on the ignition. It doesn't appear when I'm driving, but only at startup, if I have left the car more than 5 minutes. If I switch the car off it disappears, but if I don't, the car doesn't go forward when I'm in D and let go of the brake and if I'm at an incline, it doesn't stay, but rolls backwards. Did anyone have the same problem and what is wrong? Thanks in advance!

Have you scanned the car to check for DTCs? If not, that is the first step you should do when you have a warning light.

Yeah I scanned it with VCDS and errors appear everywhere 😅. It says the problem is in the communication with the Engine Controller.
