"PRNDS" Flashing on Dash, new TCM Needed??
Hello All,
I have been searching the forums for the answer to this problem but haven't found a solid answer just lots of talk I think. My 2004 Audi A6 has the "PRNDS" flashing on the dash. It was coming on randomly but yesterday my reserve failed to engage, I had to restart the car to get it to engage. When I got home and tried to back into my spot I noticed that my rear reserve white lights were going on and off. From what I have read in the forums is my Transmission Control Module faulty or is it something else. I would rather not pay a fortune to take it to a mechanic and have them replace everything when it could be a smaller problem of just replacing the TCM with a used identical unit. Also if this is the problem where is the location of this module. Thanks for your help.

Follow those wires, there should be a black box. Your pictures show where it should be, keep peeling back carpet towards seat. Is your a6 still a c5? The c5 runs up to 04 but halfway through the body was changed. Don't give up its down there,

Still have found nothing
Hey Guys,
Been out of town for a little bit and now I am back to getting this taken care off. I have still not located the TCM. It wasn't underneath the carpet like I keep hearing. Could it be under the seat and I have to remove it? What is the computer that is on the right side of the engine that I have shown in the picture?
