Problem overview

Some Volkswagen Touareg owners report experiencing a "Brake Fault Stop Vehicle, Owner's Manual" message, which indicates a serious issue with the braking system that requires immediate attention. This message often appears after performing a Steering Angle Reset and is accompanied by warning lights and beeps on the dashboard. Additionally, if the fault code 01435 is present in the ABS module, owners may need to replace the G201 sensor and test the brake pedal switch to resolve the issue. In certain cases, this fault can also lock the gear lever in automatic vehicles, rendering the vehicle undrivable. It is crucial for owners to refer to the owner's manual for troubleshooting guidance and to consult a qualified mechanic or Volkswagen service center for effective diagnosis and repair of the brake fault.
