C4 B7 ABS, ESP and Hill Assist faulty

Post by Cutac »

Hello,

the other day Service light lit up and "ABS, ESP and Hill Assist faulty" message showed up on the display.
It happened on the startup and was gone after I've restarted the car.
Faults are these and they were all noted at the same time:
P0565
P0575
U1308

Could it be because of the dead-ish battery(12.3V when the car is off)?

Here are the fault code descriptions - As you don't have an Electronic Parking Brake, I would ignore the Hill Start functions - but all symptomatic of the ABS / ESP - if the speed info is incorrect or the data is faulty - which automatically cuts out cruise control and speed limiter functions - so that's the reason for these 2 faults. Ignore those and focus on the others. It may go away on its own if conditions are correct.
