Audi S8 · 2013–2015
Audi TSB 2036392/6 covers 2013-2015 S8 4.0 TFSI vehicles with vibration around 1000 and 3000 rpm and possible B201000 or B200500 in the sub-frame mount controller J931. Work on electrical-system controllers J519/J520 can deactivate J931 active-mount basic settings. The bulletin does not establish that both mounts commonly fail at 60,000-100,000 miles.
Common Symptoms
- Vibration near 1000 or 3000 rpm
- Judder when cylinders are switched off
How to Fix
Reproduce the vibration under Audi’s specified driving conditions and scan J931. If the bulletin applies, verify J931 software, perform the required SVM update and basic settings, align the exhaust without tension, repeat basic settings and follow the referenced diagnosis if vibration remains. Inspect mount hardware only after the software, calibration and exhaust path. Do not disable cylinder-on-demand or replace both mounts from the former card.

Frequently asked questions
What does B2010 mean?
B2010 stands for "No Basic Setting." The control module reports that its stored basic setting (adaptation/calibration) has been lost or was never performed. The module knows it is uncalibrated and disables the affected function until the basic-setting routine is run with a capable scan tool. On the Audi S8/A8 4.0 TFSI this is a J931 active engine-mount fault: the mount basic setting is wiped whenever work is done on the vehicle electrical system modules J519/J520 (for example key programming).
What are the most common causes of B2010?
The most common causes of B2010 are: Basic setting lost after a battery disconnect, module replacement, or key programming on J519/J520, Component replaced without performing the required adaptation, Aborted basic-setting procedure, Related invalid data record (B2005) blocking calibration. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
