WHAT WE RESOLVE
C7 (2012-2018) common module and ADAS issues
- ADAS calibration drift Watch for calibration needs after windshield, bumper, suspension, camera, or radar work. Documented systems include Audi Pre-Sense Plus - Forward Camera (Pre-Sense City) (2012, 2014), Audi Pre-Sense Plus - Front Radar (77GHz) (2012, 2014), Lane Departure Warning / Active Lane Assist (2012, 2014), and Rear View Camera (2012, 2014-2018). Year-marked systems apply only to the shown range.
- SRS crash-data and warning light SRS service can involve Airbag Control Unit (ACU). Part numbers and crash-data workflow are confirmed for the exact year/VIN.
- Replacement module setup ECU/PCM replacement programming, BCM configuration, TCU/TCM cloning, ABS/EBCM setup are represented in the merged generation data. Rows with year ranges do not apply to every model year; verify by VIN.
