Q5. ‘Stabilisation programme fault’.

[FrannyB]

Hi Guys, I wondered if anyone has experienced this fault on an audi q5 2011. “ stabilisation programme fault see owners manual. “

Thanks

Id recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. I'm wondering if your battery is failing if it's old as a failing battery can throw up unusual electrical gremlins.

Hi Steve thanks for your reply. My battery is reading 12.2v which is a bit low? 

4892 code is showing which I believe has something to do with the EGR valve. 
 

thanks

The previous faults have now cleared but the coil is now flashing. The only way I can reset it by switching the engine off then back on again.

Hello Francis,

If your battery is reading 12.2 volts then that’s not a good sign of its efficiency, and below par batteries can lead to all sorts of ‘stray’ warning codes. 
My advice would be to first get its efficiency checked. Halfords and others can do this, but please come back to us before committing to buy - if found to be substandard. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

I agree with Gareth. Get the battery changed then see if fault codes return
