01316 on Audi
ABS Control Module: No Signal/Communication
01316 on Audi vehicles indicates abs control module: no signal/communication. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Audi model — most commonly on TT. This is a VAG/VCDS fault code (commonly seen on VW, Audi, Skoda, SEAT) reported by another module — typically the instrument cluster or another control unit — indicating it has lost signal/communication with the ABS Control Module over the vehicle's data bus (CAN). A related variant of the same code reads "Check DTC Memory," meaning faults are stored inside the ABS module itself. In practice it points to a communication breakdown with the brake/ABS control unit rather than always a failed module. Typical repair costs on Audi range from $250 to $1,400, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of 01316
- •Faulty wiring or corroded/damaged connectors to/from the ABS control module
- •CAN bus communication fault between the ABS module and other control units
- •Internal fault or failure of the ABS control module/hydraulic unit
- •Power supply or ground issue to the ABS module (blown fuse, poor ground)
- •Stored faults within the ABS module (e.g. wheel speed sensor faults) preventing normal communication
- •Disconnected or unpowered ABS module (e.g. after battery/module service)

- ABS/ESP Control Module Failure Causing Warning Lights and Loss of Stability/ABS Function2000-2006
Mk1 Audi TT models are known for Bosch ABS module failures that trigger ABS, brake, and ESP warning lights. Internal module solder failures can interrupt wheel-speed processing and communication, disabling anti-lock braking and stability control functions. This issue is widely reported on VW/Audi forums and in owner complaints because it can persist intermittently before becoming permanent.
