U13AE on Audi
Active Parking System Control Module - Missing / Faulty Message
U13AE on Audi vehicles indicates active parking system control module - missing / faulty message. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Audi model — most commonly on e-tron. A control module has logged a communication fault relating to the active parking system control module - the expected data from that module is absent or implausible. Audi TSB 2061788 lists DTC U13AE00 ("Active parking system control module") among the codes found in high-voltage battery charger J1050 on 2020-2021 e-tron quattro and e-tron Sportback vehicles running onboard-charger software level 0070, i.e. as one of the spurious cross-module bus codes generated by the outdated charger software rather than a genuine parking-system defect.
Common Causes of U13AE
- •Outdated onboard-charger software (level 0070) generating spurious communication DTCs on the e-tron - Audi TSB 2061788
- •Active parking system control module offline, unpowered, or failed
- •CAN bus wiring or connector fault to the parking system module
- •Module replaced without coding or gateway installation-list update
- •Low system voltage

- 2021 e-tron Charging Interruptions with Onboard-Charger Software 0070 - Diagnosis Required2021
Audi TSB 2061788/2 covers model-year 2021 e-tron quattro and e-tron Sportback vehicles with specified AC/DC charging interruptions, charging-flap operation problems, or an app request for auxiliary heating that does not pre-heat the vehicle when matching DTCs are stored in high-voltage battery charger control module J1050. Audi attributes the documented condition to onboard-charger software and identifies old software level 0070, not a proven failed charger module.
