Default OBD Eleven Connection Problems and Error Messages on Day 2 Post Delivery

Anyone using version 1.3.5 and have problems connecting to certain modules on eTron? This is for my new USA Prestige on Day 2 post delivery:

On my Premium Plus eTron (and using an older version of OBD Eleven 1.3.3), I had no issues connection to all the modules and the only 2 that seemed to be known where static errors on 51 Drive Motor and 2 CE Drive Motor Control.

On the new Prestige:

I cannot get Drivers Assistance Module A5 to connect to OBD Eleven. Error message: not available.

2 CE Drive Motor Control Module: Fault Code: not available


Other error results:

19 Gateway: Function limitation due to missing message: Fault Code U111100: intermittent.

16 Steering Column: steering wheel heater: open circuit: Fault code: B153813: static

17 Dashboard: Databus missing message: Fault code: U112100: intermittent

51 Drive Motor: ECM/PCM Processor: Fault Code: P060600: static

46 Comfort System: Right Rear Tail Lamp 2 LED Faulty: Fault Code: B16D7F1: intermittent

46 Comfort System: Right Rear Tail Lamp 2 License Plate Light Defective: Fault Code: B16D7F6: intermittent (new tail bar ordered by service)

13 Adaptive Cruise Control: Databus error value received: Fault Code: U112300: intermittent

13 Adaptive Cruise Control: Databus implausible message: Fault Code: U112200: intermittent


Tried clearing the codes, but these are the persistent ones.


There does not seem to be any readily driveability issues at the moment, but also haven't needed to use steering wheel heater or tried ACC just yet. Biggest concern is not being able to connect the Drivers Assistance Module.

Anyone know how to downgrade iOS OBD Eleven to an older version on regular iPhone (non-jailbroken)? or another to fix these issues?

Mahalo in advance.

The steering wheel 'fault' is because US spec Etrons don't get a heated steering wheel; we get the capacitive sensors instead. It would be smart if they suppressed the (inaccurate) fault, but Audi software is what it is.
The ECM fault is 'normal' according to Audi. Means they haven't found how to fix it and it shows up in most cars. P faults should not be 'normal'....
Databus message missing faults have been the norm in every Audi I have owned. Not a lot of documentation on those; sometimes they matter, sometimes they don't.
THe two faults on 46 are for the same taillight assembly.
I cannot see the CE motor drive module either with OBDEleven Android.

I would test the ACC. Since you have to bring in the car for the tail light anyway, might as well have them look at it if it is not working.
Take some time to look over the TSBs that have been published; sometimes they mention specific fault codes and whether they matter. It can be time consuming; if having those U faults around doesn't bug you too much, may not be worth the effort.

Is this also on a US model Prestige?

Finally got to try ACC yesterday- works like a charm. I suppose when my rear tailbar arrives at Service and is brought in for installation, I'll bring these issues up- perhaps, they exist on all US Prestige models.

The only concerning issue is not able to communicate with A5 Drivers Assistance module.

To be continued.....

There was an update to OBD Eleven iOS app this week and now, I am able connect to module A5. Fingers crossed that the only true persistent static errors are 51 Drive Motor, CE Drive Motor Control.

I was able too see this module too after the update and the app is faster.

I'm interested to know how the trailer assist function works if you're considering turning it on in OBD Eleven.

its on a edition one which is pretty much the same.

I don’t have the trailer hitch but you have it it’s worth enabling that feature.
