Good morning

Can anyone tell me what causes this error?

Never seen it before and it doesn't go away in any way.

My car is A6 Quattro 2.0 Tdi 204cv my 2022

I don't have any Audi dash cams fitted.

Thank you

That sounds like (and based on the icon) it is the camera based driver awareness system that has been mandated by the EU, Wasn't aware that it came in as early as 2022 though. Presume there must be some sort of issue with the camera (not even sure where it is located) either failing or being obscured by something

I'm sure I don't have that internal driver monitoring camera system.

Last week an updated software was flashed on an ECU, I think it was ECU 17 or 19, but it never gave any errors.
Yesterday suddenly when I started it from a standstill it popped out.

Do you know if there is the possibility of inhibiting it with Obdeleven?

thank you

Who did the software flash for you? It sounds like it may be connected and the car thinks you have the fatigue warning system. Obviously every software update needs to be customised to the vehicle to ensure that it matches the features the car has. My understanding is that software downloaded by Audi dealers direct from the factory do this. Third parties doing it probably just use a generic version. It probably can be turned one and off with VCDS or OBD-11, but it may require ODIS as it relates to a safety system

Thanks for the explanation, it's the same thing I thought.

"It probably can be turned on and off with VCDS or OBD-11, but it may require ODIS as it relates to a safety system"

Do you have any idea where I can find the coding to deactivate it?

Thank you

No idea other than asking on the Ross-Tech forum and you may get an answer as to whether VCDS can do it or not
