Audi Code Errors

This document provides an overview and fault codes for the ABS/ESP system of an Audi A4 2001. It lists 46 fault codes related to components like inlet/outlet valves, speed sensors, the recirculating pump, relay, and more. For each code, it gives the fault recognition, cause, and guided fault finding process using tool VAS 5051 to diagnose the issue.
