Hello....

Revised 7/1/2020
- Streamlined [The Procedure] below, again, thank you ALL for your feedback!

This procedure is not for the 'older' non UDS vehicles, this procedure can be found here,
'Suspension Level Calibration'

How can you tell if you have a 'UDS' Level Controller? Click here UDS vs. Non-UDS
This is an example of a UDS Level controller when found in the Auto-Scan results:

[Coding]
- If there is an 'incorrectly coded' fault in the [34-Level Control], the controller will need to be
coded first, before 'The Procedure' below can be completed!
- If you have saved an [Auto-Scan] of the vehicle prior to the coding being lost, you can search
the scan and copy/paste the coding into the controller.
- In the unlikely event you have lost coding, create a new Ross-Tech forum thread in the Car
Repair Support section and let's see if we can help.

Special Notes, warnings, etc

- Do not at any point in time select Basic Settings [*IDE01475*] [Resetting of all
adaptations]. If you choose to do so, DTC B2013 will be stored and you will need to make an
appointment with your local dealer! B2013: No End-of-Line Programming will prevent a
successful calibration.
- Make sure you perform and save an [Auto-Scan] before beginning any work
- If you are attempting to alter the ride height use this procedure at your own risk!
- If you copy or post this procedure and/or any of its contents anywhere else, please be respectful
and give credit where credit is due

[The Procedure]

------------------------------------------------------
- Re-adapt Adaptive Suspension to default position -
------------------------------------------------------

Prerequisites
- Ignition [ON], Use a Battery maintainer
- Vehicle on level surface
- No persons or gear in Vehicle
- Fuel Tank 50% or more
- Nothing under vehicle
- Door are to remain shut during the entire procedure

Using the MMI (under [Car]/[Service] ) the following needs to be set-

- Audi Drive Select (under Car menu) set to [Auto]
or
- Automatic Drive Program set to [Auto] (Bentley)

1) Select - [34-Level Control]

Press [Security Access-16] enter - [20103], [Do it!]

2) Select - [Basic Settings - 04]

- Choose - [*IDE03804*] Deactivating loading mode
- Wait for basic Settings to end, [Finished correctly/Not Running], then press [Stop]

3) Select - [Basic Settings - 04]

- Choose - [*IDE03751*] [Activate level control]
- Wait for basic Settings to end, [Finished correctly/Not Running], then press [Stop]

4) Choose - [*IDE03761*] [Delete calibration for level control] - Press [Go!]

- Wait for basic Settings to end, [Finished correctly/Not Running], then press [Stop]

5) Choose - [*IDE03802*] [Set reference level]- Press [Go!]

- Note, basic Settings [*IDE03939*] [Start up to reference level (production)] should NOT be
used.
- Wait for basic Settings to end, [Finished correctly/Not Running], then press [Stop], [Go
Back] (vehicle should level it's self wait till it stops)

6) Measure the ride height, in millimeters, from the center of the wheel to the edge of fender, do
this for all four wheels and record the values, this will set the ride height to the factory level.

Notes:
- Modification to ride height may be possible, for example adding to the measured value would
lower the suspension because the level control system thinks the ride height it too high. DO
THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
- We do not suggest anyone to make changes to the standard ride heights!
- Users may post their 'tweaking ride height' questions here, in the Ross-Tech forum,
Tweaks section.

Select [Adaptation - 10]

Choose from the drop down menu and enter the [New value] recorded value for each of the
wheels below, then press [Do it!]
- [*IDE02001*] [Body height left front wheel house edge]
- [*IDE02002*] [Body height right front wheel house edge]
- [*IDE02003*] [Body height left rear wheel house edge]
- [*IDE02004*] [Body height right rear wheel house edge]

See the above table for standard values

7) Select - [Basic Settings - 04]

- Choose - [*IDE03762*] [Calibrate level control] - Press [Go!]
- Wait for basic Settings to end, [Finished correctly/Not Running], then press [Stop], [Go
Back]
(Vehicle may lower/raise)

8) Select - [Basic Settings - 04]

- Choose - [*IDE03751*] [Activate level control] - Press [Go!]
- Wait for basic Settings to end, [Finished correctly/Not Running], then press [Stop], [Go
Back], [Close Controller]

Quality check and house keeping:

A.) Measure the ride height again and verify the values are within 3mm of the displayed values in
Advanced Measuring Value Blocks.

B.) Using the MMI verify the following setting -

- Air Spring Wheel Change = [off]

C.) Ignition Key On/Off Cycle must be completed.

D.) Clear ALL fault codes and re-check for fault codes, road test vehicle.

Reference:

- You may have one or more of the fault codes listed below...

403201 - Function Shut-Off Active

C10C8 00 [009] - -
403200 - Function Shut-Off Active
C10C8 00 [008] - -
367877 - Ride Height Not Learned
C1044 00 [009] - -
266752 - Control module not coded
U1013 00 [009] - -

Again, feedback is welcome and you are encouraged to post your experiences here in the Ross-
Tech forum.

Thank you and as always, hope this helps,
