C1260F0 on Audi by Model

Audi e-tron(1 issue)

  • 2019-2023 e-tron Air-Suspension Warning with J1135 Communication Fault - Diagnosis Required2019-2023

    Audi TSB 2059363/5 covers a legacy e-tron air-suspension malfunction when suspension controller J775 stores C1260F0 for no communication with compressor-control unit J1135 or U112100 with symptom code 262400 for a missing message. This is an electrical communication path; the bulletin does not establish leaking air lines, worn struts, height-sensor failure, compressor burnout or ball-joint wear as one common defect.
