Hi Rob yes I’ve checked the battery voltage and done a battery reset. My car was fine when I got in it but beeped when I turned a hard right(full lock over and up a dropped curb onto the pavement some had said I might have jolted the steering rack angle sensor, and has put the car in safe mode. does anyone know how I can wake the car up so I can put an Eobd fault code reader in to it so that it works?? My car is the keyless model with push button start. I’ve managed to get my car to a safe place just need to delete this fault code can anyone help or give me a number who would k ow about this problem…

The car is keyless and when I unlock the doors and get in, the power is on briefly but when I push start button the handbrake light and the message still appears on the dials then the car is immobilised The interior lights : headlights/indicators all work along with the central locking, but won’t allow me to start the car nor take the handbrake off to move it .. have been told I can wake the car up to enable an Eobd system to read the fault code. And reset the system. Ad to enable the use of the car again …

Hi Gareth the battery is fine the car is all up together and I haven’t had no trouble with starting the car before. The car actually shut completely down and applied the handbrake on its own telling me it had a steering malfunction in the clocks. The car ecu killed the power to the car except the doors and central locking .. I know a bit about cars and am aware the fault has came from the electromechanical steering rack but haven’t a clue how to reset it as there’s no power to the car for a diagnostic machine to be implemented. I was hoping someone on here had heard of this before and may have some solid procedure that could be done or give me instructions as if I should get hold of an Audi dealership to plug the car in. I really am at a loose end and don’t know what to do….

I drove round a junction and up onto the pavement via the dropped curb. I had my steering on full right lock when I went up the dropped curb, and then the car straight away beeped and came up with a message between the two dials “ steering malfunction do not drive vehicle “ then the car has put the handbrake on and cut power to the car. I can’t take the handbrake off but can lock and unlock the car but can’t start as no power to ignition.. as if it’s been immobilised.. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME…
