Default Dashboard Error Message

Anyone has a list of all the error messages for an 89 S4?

My 89 gave me ABS failure and Low Voltage shutdown (or something like that).

Thanks,

The manual lists them all. Can you get to an online version?

I have one in the shed but I also have lots of other things in there that I can't find :-(. I am sure its just because I put her for sale that she is giving a hard time, lol, had the car for over 2 years and never gave me any issues, just now.

"Save Power" - Check the charge state of your battery, alternator function. This error means low battery voltage with car running.

I've received that message only with the lights on, and restart of the engine. Does it happen all the time? Check voltage at the battery while running and when stopped.

I just started the car and it was fine. No message. Its the 2nd time I ever got any sort of message with this car. Hopefully it its the last time also.

I got that message when my alternator belt broke. Check yours. Could maybe be an alternator ground problem too.
