What is the Audi p1653 fault code?
2 Answers
Audi p1653 fault code is the ABS control module. Fault light codes: If a fault code is reported but the system is working normally, it may be due to an operation that exceeded the computer's control range. The computer then feedbacks a fault code. You can clear it first and then check if the fault code reappears. Fault light information detection: If there is no particularly obvious engine fault, but further inspection based on computer detection information reveals a real fault that does not affect normal driving or has minimal impact, it should be identified and resolved promptly. For major faults, these can usually be detected through visual inspection and driving experience, and they severely affect the normal operation of the engine, requiring immediate repair.
My Audi once threw a P1653 code, and at that time I felt the acceleration was particularly sluggish with the engine light on, which really freaked me out for a while. This usually indicates an issue with the turbocharger's wastegate control circuit, such as a short circuit in the wiring, aging connectors, or a clogged valve. The cause might be dust accumulation from my long-term highway driving or oxidized circuits. Initially, I checked the fuse box myself and found no blown fuses, but I didn't dare to mess around further, so I took it to a repair shop where they used a diagnostic tool to pinpoint the exact problem. The technician said that leaving this fault untreated could damage the turbocharger, cause a spike in fuel consumption, and increase the risk of overheating. Now, during my bi-annual maintenance, I always have the turbo system checked and add a dust cover as a preventive measure. It's really better to address it early to avoid big expenses later.
