To reset the ECU on your Audi A4, start by turning off the ignition. Then, disconnect the negative battery cable for about 15 minutes. Reconnect the cable and start the car. This should reset the ECU and clear any stored error codes.

You can also reset the ECU by using a diagnostic scanner. This method may be quicker and easier for some users. Simply plug the scanner into the OBDII port, follow the instructions, and select the option to reset the ECU.
