My 2015 Audi A4 8k has sound problems. A scan shows the following for Address 56 Radio -
dtc 02558 for left rear speaker R159
dtc 02559 for right rear speaker R160
Both are 011 Open Circuit

Optical Bus scan shows no faults.

The MMI is 3G+ based on the software version HN+_EU_AU3G_P0814 and has 10 speakers

A sequential speaker test resulted in sound from speakers in both front doors being interrupted but nothing was observed happening at any of the other locations. What should be the reaction to the test ? Is an interruption in sound confirmation that there is a circuit to the particular speaker ?

I am surprised that the tweeters can be addressed separately as i thought local frequency splitting would have been used.

Any feedback would be really appreciated

".............being interrupted but nothing was observed happening at any of the other locations."
Right, you have a "open circuit" fault. I would check that harness running to the rear speakers since they both have the same fault.

Is an interruption in sound confirmation that there is a circuit to the particular speaker ?
Sounds reasonable, if there is sound the circuit is intact.

Many thanks.
I was hoping that a test signal would have been sent to each speaker resulting in an audible output.
Btw there was a long time interval between the two faults with 'left being first. As the rear was not functioning correctly, sound was directed to the front. Yet somehow the Right recently developed the same fault without being driven.

If they are easy enough to access, disconnect what is there and check for power / ground OR plug in another speaker and see if you get any sound. Perhaps the speaker is blown and registers as a open fault ; as if it was unplugged. You could also unplug each speaker and run a scan of that module and see what faults.

Door cards have to be removed to directly access the speaker terminals. Alternatively, the harness connectors can be unplugged at the door pillars and checked for continuity. Relying on VCDS, a visual check for physical integrity of wires is the last step before replacement.

Still hoping for feedback on the possibility of audible output from the testing of the remaining 8 good speakers ?
