3 = ohm value of fuel level sensor -G-

NOTE:

The actual sensor values are shown in the display field. The values in the
instrument cluster are modified and may be different.

The coolant temperature gauge will indicate 90° C (194°F), if the actual
coolant temperature varies between approx. 75°C (167°F) and 107°C (225°
F).

For vehicles with VDO instrument cluster, if the fuel level sensor has an
open or short circuit, display field 2 displays 0L and display field 3
remains empty.

ADAPTATION (FUNCTION 10)

Use this function to initiate and store the following changes:

Adaption of odometer reading when replacing/exchanging instrument cluster

Adaption of fuel gauge reading

Individual functions can be called up using the appropriate adaptation channel number from adaptation table.

Adaptation table

ADAPTATION FUNCTIONS (UP TO 06.99)

ODOMETER READING UP TO 06.98 MODELS, ADAPTATION

Odometer reading adaptation for vehicles from 06.98, See ODOMETER, ADAPTATION

Odometer reading adaptation using Vehicle Diagnostic, Testing and Information System VAS 5051 (all
model years), See Additional Information, Odometer adaptation with VAS 5051.

For vehicles with Magneti-Marelli instrument cluster -M73-, display field 2
displays 2L for short circuit and 67L for open circuit. Display field 3
displays 8 ohm for short circuit and > 350 ohm for an open circuit.

Other display groups are possible, but are not required for
troubleshooting.

NOTE:

After changing an adaptation value or ending an adaptation channel the
function "10 - adaptation" must be performed to select another adaptation
channel!

NOTE:

Total distance travelled by the vehicle can be read from the malfunctioning
instrument cluster or determined by vehicle service history.

Total distance travelled display of new instrument cluster must not be
more than 100 km (63 mi) before adaptation.

Total distance travelled to be transferred to the new instrument cluster
must exceed 100 km (63 mi).

Adapting total distance travelled is only possible once and only in a

Example:

The malfunctioning instrument cluster has an odometer reading of 89627 (either kilometers or miles). The
odometer display can be transferred to the new instrument cluster as follows:

Connect VAG1551 Scan Tool (ST), select 1 "Rapid Data Transfer", switch on ignition, input address
word 17 "Instrument Cluster".

Press -Q- button to confirm input.

Various data appears in the display. The manufacturer's code is also displayed, See INSTRUMENT

Adaptation can be interrupted with the "C" button of the VAG 1551/1552
Scan Tool (ST).

Correcting a false entry which has been confirmed is not possible. The
instrument cluster must be exchanged for a new one.

Adaptation value on instrument clusters for Canadian models must be
entered in kilometers.

Adaptation value on instrument clusters for US models must be entered in
miles.
