B0516H code
Greetings, all,
I was getting ready to do a little intake mod on my '04 A4 coupe and thought, on GP, I would check the DIC for codes beforehand. All was clear with the exception of group 60 - IPC, which showed a B0516H code. When I looked it up in the factory manual, it read, "vehicle speed over 200 mph for 1 second/PCM unable to process correct vehicle speed from VSS/ intermittent or erratic VSS operation".
Say what? I know I didn't drive that fast, and in 10 months and 5000 miles, I've only chirped the rear wheels once. Any ideas as to where this code might have come from? Is this a fairly common code? Is this some kind of
code?
I just find that code's presence very interesting, hence the curiosity. Thanks in advance for any information you all might have.

I think I got that or a similar code when I force over-revved my engine to "over 7400 rpm for over 1 second". And "lost communication with the PCM". Lucky for me I had no engine damage or bent valves or pushrods. I had performed the imfamous 3rd to 2nd shift at redline.
Maybe someone, a lot boy or tech or ?, over-revved your Vette, in 5th gear, on a lift, and got and erased the code. I know my boo-boo is still recorded permanently in my PCM.
