After replacing the electromechanical steering with the control unit J500, the unit cannot be coded via SVM spec/actual. All new replacement power steering control units (J500) must be coded and parameterized using online SVM spec/actual or an SVM code. If the SVM spec/actual returns a response of ?Check Hardware?, then the SVM code is required to code and parameterize the new replacement control unit. The SVM code can be found in Parts Bulletin 9-97, which is available online through ETKA.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10121336-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10121336-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10121336","components":[{"id":"steering","name":"Steering","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"AUDI","model":"A4 ALLROAD","year_from":2013,"year_to":2014,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2013_audi_a4-allroad","2014_audi_a4-allroad"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A5","year_from":2013,"year_to":2014,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2013_audi_a5","2014_audi_a5"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A5 CABRIOLET","year_from":2013,"year_to":2014,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A6","year_from":2011,"year_to":2014,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2011_audi_a6","2012_audi_a6","2013_audi_a6","2014_audi_a6"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A7","year_from":2011,"year_to":2011,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A7","year_from":2012,"year_to":2014,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2012_audi_a7","2013_audi_a7","2014_audi_a7"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"Q5","year_from":2013,"year_to":2014,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2013_audi_q5","2014_audi_q5"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
