Thanks for sharing that detailed explanation about the emergency call system failure. I had a very similar issue with my Q3 last year. The telematics system kept throwing errors and multiple warning lights appeared out of nowhere. A system reset at the first shop didnt solve it, but eventually a proper diagnostic scan revealed a loose connection in the module. Did you track the total repair costs for your fix? Also curious if you had any recurring issues since the repair was completed? Would be helpful to know what to expect if my car starts showing these symptoms again.

After fixing the emergency call failure at a certified shop, all warning lights and error messages completely cleared up. The repair focused on a faulty cable connection in the control module, costing 95 Euro for the complete fix. The diagnostic codes helped identify the exact connection issue, making the repair straightforward once properly diagnosed. Since the repair, the emergency call system has worked flawlessly with no recurring problems. This confirms how important proper diagnostics are for these electronic system issues. The car safety features now function as intended, and the warning lights have stayed off. A certified technician with the right diagnostic tools made all the difference compared to attempting basic system resets or general repairs. For future reference, tracking these symptoms early and getting specialized diagnosis can prevent more extensive issues from developing in the telematics system.

After dealing with constant warning lights and that frustrating emergency call system error, I finally took my Q3 to a certified Audi specialist. The car safety diagnostics showed exactly what others mentioned, a wiring issue in the control module. The repair took about 3 hours and cost 480 Euro, including a full system diagnostic and replacement of damaged connectors. The telematics system now works perfectly, and all warning lights have stayed off for the past 2 months. Much better experience than my previous shop that just kept resetting codes without fixing the root cause. Worth paying more for proper automotive electronics expertise rather than risking further malfunction issues. Big relief to have it properly sorted, especially since the emergency call system is such a crucial safety feature. Will definitely stick with certified specialists for any future electronic repairs.

Having experienced a similar malfunction on my 2016 Audi Q5 TFSI, these emergency call system failures often trace back to faulty wiring connections. The diagnostic codes pointed to the SOS signal module, but the real culprit was a damaged cable harness near the roof antenna. The repair required specialized automotive electronics testing equipment to pinpoint the exact location of the connection issue. This is not a simple fix that any general repair shop can handle, it needs proper Audi diagnostic tools to access the emergency call system. In my case, a certified technician had to remove several interior panels to access and replace the damaged wiring. The repair was significant since the emergency call system is a critical safety feature tied to multiple vehicle systems. When malfunctioning, it can trigger various warning lights and error messages across different control modules. Key points to consider: Look for shops with certified Audi diagnostic equipment, Request detailed scanning of the emergency call system, Ensure they check all cable connections, not just the main module, Get documentation of any diagnostic codes found This type of issue requires proper diagnosis as replacing parts without thorifying the root cause often leads to recurring problems.
