1. Understanding Audi RS6 Readiness and VCDS

What is “Readiness” in the Context of an Audi RS6?

“Readiness” refers to the status of various emission-related systems in your Audi RS6. These systems undergo self-tests to ensure they are functioning correctly. The readiness status indicates whether these tests have been completed and passed. This is crucial for passing emissions inspections. When all systems are “ready,” your car is compliant.

Why is Setting Readiness Important?

Setting readiness is crucial for several reasons:

• Emissions Compliance: Many regions require vehicles to pass emissions tests. Having all readiness monitors set to “ready” is a prerequisite for passing these tests.
• Diagnostic Clarity: Readiness monitors provide insight into the health of your car’s emission control systems. Knowing the status of each monitor helps identify potential issues early on.
• Performance Optimization: Properly functioning emission systems ensure that your car runs efficiently and performs optimally.

What is VCDS and Its Role?

VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) is a software and hardware package developed by Ross-Tech. It allows users to diagnose, code, and program Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and SEAT vehicles. VCDS provides access to various control modules within your car, enabling you to perform tasks such as:

• Reading and clearing fault codes
• Viewing live data
• Performing output tests
• Coding control modules
• Adaptation settings

Why Might “No Script Available” Appear in VCDS?

The “No Script Available” message in VCDS typically indicates that the software does not have a predefined procedure for a specific task or control module in your car. This can occur for several reasons:

• New Car Models or Software Versions: VCDS may not have the latest data for very new car models or software versions. The software is constantly updated, but there can be a lag.
• Rare or Unusual Configurations: Some car configurations or modifications may not be covered by standard VCDS scripts. This is especially true for specialized vehicles like the Audi RS6.
• Module-Specific Issues: Certain control modules may require manual coding or adaptation procedures that are not automated in VCDS.
• Software Glitches: Occasionally, a software glitch or incomplete installation of VCDS can cause this message to appear.

2. Common Reasons for Readiness Issues on an Audi RS6

Recent ECU Flashing or Software Updates

When the Engine Control Unit (ECU) is flashed or updated, the readiness monitors are often reset to their “not ready” state. This is because the ECU needs to relearn various parameters and complete its self-tests.

Battery Disconnection or Replacement

Disconnecting or replacing the battery can also reset the readiness monitors. The car’s computer loses some of its stored data, requiring the emission systems to be re-evaluated.

Fault Codes and Underlying Issues

The presence of fault codes can prevent readiness monitors from setting. If there are underlying mechanical or electrical issues, the self-tests may fail, and the monitors will remain incomplete.

Driving Cycle Incompletion

Most readiness monitors require the car to be driven under specific conditions to complete their self-tests. These conditions typically involve a combination of highway driving, city driving, and idling. If these driving cycles are not met, the monitors will not set.

Modified or Aftermarket Parts

Installing modified or aftermarket parts, such as performance exhaust systems or aftermarket intakes, can interfere with the operation of the emission control systems and prevent readiness monitors from setting.

3. Understanding the Audi RS6 Driving Cycle for Readiness

What is a Driving Cycle?

A driving cycle is a specific set of driving conditions that must be met for the car’s computer to run and complete self-tests of various emission control systems. These conditions usually involve a combination of different speeds, loads, and durations.

General Driving Cycle Steps for VAG Vehicles

While the exact driving cycle can vary depending on the model year and engine type of your Audi RS6, here are general steps that often apply to VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) vehicles:

1. Cold Start: Start the engine when it is cold (ideally after sitting overnight).
2. Idle: Allow the engine to idle for about two to three minutes.
3. Acceleration: Accelerate gently to a speed of 20-30 mph.
4. Steady Speed: Maintain a steady speed of 20-30 mph for about two to three minutes.
5. Deceleration: Decelerate gradually without using the brakes.
6. Highway Driving: Drive at a steady speed of 50-60 mph for about five minutes.
7. Deceleration: Decelerate gradually without using the brakes.
8. City Driving: Drive in city traffic with frequent stops and starts for about five minutes.
9. Idle: Allow the engine to idle for about two to three minutes.
10. Repeat: Repeat these steps as necessary until all readiness monitors are set.

Specific Conditions and Parameters

• Fuel Level: Ensure the fuel tank is between 1/4 and 3/4 full.
• Ambient Temperature: Perform the driving cycle when the ambient temperature is above freezing.
• Altitude: Driving at different altitudes can affect the readiness monitors. Try to perform the driving cycle at a consistent altitude.
• Smooth Operation: Avoid abrupt acceleration, braking, or steering maneuvers.

Using VCDS to Monitor Readiness During the Driving Cycle

VCDS allows you to monitor the readiness status in real-time as you perform the driving cycle. Connect VCDS to your car, go to the Engine control module (address 01), and select “Readiness.” VCDS will display the status of each monitor, indicating whether it is complete or incomplete. This real-time monitoring can help you adjust your driving cycle as needed to ensure all monitors are set.

4. Manual VCDS Procedures for Setting Readiness

Accessing the Engine Control Module (ECU)

1. Connect your VCDS interface to the car’s OBD-II port.
2. Turn on the ignition but do not start the engine.
3. Open the VCDS software on your computer.
4. Select “Select Control Module.”
5. Choose “01 – Engine” from the list of control modules.

Checking Readiness Status

1. Once you are in the Engine control module, select “Readiness.”
2. VCDS will display the current status of all readiness monitors.
3. Note which monitors are not set (indicated as “Not Ready” or similar).

Performing Basic Settings or Output Tests

1. Return to the main screen of the Engine control module.

2. Select “Basic Settings – 04” or “Output Tests – 03.”

3. Look for tests or settings that are related to the monitors that are not set. Common tests include:

   • Oxygen sensor tests
   • Catalytic converter tests
   • EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system tests
   • Secondary air injection system tests

4. Run the appropriate tests and follow the on-screen instructions.

Adaptation Procedures (If Applicable)

1. Return to the main screen of the Engine control module.

2. Select “Adaptation – 10.”

3. Look for adaptation channels that are related to the monitors that are not set. Examples include:

   • Oxygen sensor adaptation
   • EGR adaptation
   • Idle speed adaptation

4. Adjust the adaptation values as necessary, following the instructions provided by VCDS or a reliable repair manual.

Clearing Fault Codes

1. After performing the necessary tests and adaptations, return to the main screen of the Engine control module.
2. Select “Fault Codes – 02.”
3. Clear any fault codes that are present.
4. Restart the engine and recheck the readiness status.
