1.1 General notes on self-diagnosis

♦ The engine control unit has a self-diagnosis capability. Before
carrying out repairs and fault finding, the event memory must
be interrogated. The vacuum hoses and connections must al‐
so be checked (unmetered air).
♦ Fuel hoses in engine compartment must only be secured with
spring-type clips. O-type clips or screw-type clips must not be
used.
♦ A voltage of at least 11.5 V is required for proper operation of
the electrical components.
♦ Do not use sealants containing silicone. Particles of silicone
drawn into the engine will not be burnt in the engine and will
damage the Lambda probe.
♦ The vehicles are fitted with a crash/fuel shut-off system. This
system is designed to reduce the risk of a vehicle fire after a
crash by deactivating the fuel pump via the fuel pump relay.
♦ If the battery is not disconnected, the fuse for the fuel pump
control unit -J538- (located in the fuse carrier in the driver's
side of the dash panel) must be removed as a precaution be‐
fore opening the fuel system, because the fuel pump will
otherwise be activated by the contact switch on the driver's
door.
♦ Use release tool -T40138- to unplug connectors that cannot
be accessed easily.
1. Safety precautions and rules for cleanliness 1

Audi A8 2010 ➤

1.2 Safety precautions when using testers

and measuring instruments during a
road test
Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to
be used during a road test:
WARNING
Accidents can be caused if the driver is distracted by test

equipment while road-testing, or if test equipment is not prop‐
erly secured.
Persons sitting in the front passenger's seat could be injured if
the airbag is triggered in an accident.
• The use of test equipment while driving causes distraction.

• There is an increased risk of injury if test equipment is not
secured.
♦ Test equipment must always be secured on the rear seat
with a strap and operated from the rear seat by a second
person.
1.3 Safety precautions for vehicles with

start/stop system
WARNING
Risk of injury due to automatic engine start on vehicles with

start/stop system.
♦ On vehicles with activated start/stop system (this is indi‐
cated by a message in the instrument cluster display), the
engine may start automatically on demand.
♦ Therefore it is important to ensure that the start/stop sys‐
tem is deactivated when performing repairs (switch off
ignition, if required switch on ignition again).
1.4 Safety precautions when working on the

fuel system
When working on the fuel system note the following warnings:
WARNING
♦ If the battery is not disconnected, the fuse for the fuel

pump control unit -J538- must be removed as a precau‐
tionary measure before opening the fuel system because
the fuel pump will otherwise be activated by the contact
switch on the driver's door.
♦ The fuel system is pressurised. The fuel pressure in the
high-pressure section of the injection system must be re‐
duced to a residual pressure prior to opening; for proce‐
dure see ⇒ page 8 .
♦ The connection must be opened immediately after reduc‐
ing the pressure; wrap a cloth around the connection and
allow the residual pressure (approx. 7 bar) to dissipate.

Note
Removing the fuse (fuse holder on right side of engine compart‐

ment) will interrupt the voltage supply »terminal 30« for the fuel
pump control unit -J538- ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault
finding and Fitting locations.
Even small amounts of dirt can cause malfunctions. For this rea‐
son, please observe the following rules when working on the fuel
supply system and injection system:
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before
opening.
♦ Plug open lines and connections with suitable protective caps
immediately.
♦ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and
cover them over. Do not use fluffy cloths.
♦ Only install clean components; replacement parts should only
be unpacked immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts
that have been previously unpacked and stored away loose
(e.g. in toolboxes, etc.).
♦ When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air.
Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
♦ Protect unplugged electrical connectors against dirt and mois‐
ture and make sure connections are dry when attaching.
1.5 Safety precautions when working on the

ignition system
To prevent injuries to persons and/or irreparable damage to the
fuel injection and ignition system, the following must be noted:
♦ Persons wearing a cardiac pacemaker must at all times main‐
tain a safe distance from high-voltage components such as the
ignition system and xenon headlights.
♦ Do not open any fuel line connections while the engine is run‐
ning.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or discon‐
necting injection or ignition system wiring or tester cables.
♦ If the engine is to be operated at cranking speed without it

rogated and (if necessary) erased after completing the tests
and any repair work that may be required.
♦ If the event memory has been erased, you must generate the
readiness code again.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before cleaning the engine.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or discon‐
necting the battery, otherwise the engine control unit may be
damaged.
♦ If the engine has to be operated at starting speed without ac‐
tually starting (e.g. to test compression pressure), detach the

section of injection system with respect to the correctness of information in this document. Copyright by AUDI AG.
Special tools and workshop equipment required

♦ ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester
WARNING
The fuel system operates at extremely high pressure. This can

cause injury.
♦ The injection system consists of a high-pressure section
(maximum approx. 120 bar) and a low-pressure section
(approx. 6 bar).
♦ Prior to opening the high-pressure section (e.g. when re‐
moving the high-pressure pump, fuel rail, injectors, fuel
pipes or fuel pressure sender -G247- ), the fuel pressure
in the high-pressure section must be reduced to a speci‐
fied level. The procedure is described below.
Reducing fuel pressure in high-pressure section:

– Connect ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester, select function „Reducing
fuel pressure“ in „Guided Functions“ and follow on-screen in‐
structions.
• Fuel pressure will drop to a specified value.
– Switch off ignition.

rogated and (if necessary) erased after completing the tests
and any repair work that may be required.
♦ If the engine starts, runs for a short period and then cuts out
after completing fault finding, repairs or component tests, this
may be due to the immobilizer disabling the engine control
unit. The event memory must then be interrogated and, if nec‐
essary, the control unit must be adapted.
1.2 Safety precautions

Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to
be used during a road test:
WARNING
Accidents can be caused if the driver is distracted by test

equipment while road-testing, or if test equipment is not prop‐
erly secured.
Persons sitting in the front passenger's seat could be injured if
the airbag is triggered in an accident.
• The use of test equipment while driving causes distraction.
• There is an increased risk of injury if test equipment is not
secured.
♦ Test equipment must always be secured on the rear seat
with a strap and operated from the rear seat by a second
person.
