I imported a 2006 audi a4 wagon, 2000cc engine non turbo car from Japan, when it arrived on the docks ny broker had to add fuel and jump start it with the jumper tool. Drive off for 10mins,switched off and when i got it i turn the key on i got no dashboard lights, so i then jump start using another car, after drove for 15mins, abs and traction light came on also PRNDS started blinking on the dashboard ,so i came back idled for over an hour then switched off. Tried starting again and didn't get any current, so i had it checked and was told battery is dead, i brought And installed i 90amp battery, same lights came on, but the abs and traction control lights went off, i scranned the car and d got code 18010. Meaning low voltage, how can i reset it so the PRNDS can stop blinking, thank u

 

90amp battery? That's not a lot of juice. You mean 900amp? 18010 is a code for a weak battery. The car is just not getting enough power from the battery to crank properly. Make sure the correct battery is being used. I'm showing a "Group Size" of 49 for that car. Check and make sure the ground cable from the battery to the body is good and tight. Loosen it and re-tighten it to make sure.

 

Was told that the tranny control unit can cause that, the car is also lagged on move off, i accelerated so much before it could move, also the lights PRNDS on the dash stopped blinking then when i switch the engine off and turn back on it starts blinking back, my reverse light dont work as well

 

Yep.. If the TCM is messed up it won't do much. You'll need to find another unit to swap out. It must match that particular transmission option code. If that doesn't work, it could be the trans. No good.

 

Experience these problems:

*Trouble codesfor the transmission range sensor. *Blinking PRNDS indicator. * Vehicle shifts into neutral gear *Loosing,intermittent or implausable speed sensor signals, lost power
