INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

The instrument cluster contains an electronic speedometer, tachometer and analog fuel level gauge. 

A liquid crystal (LCD) display for odometer, trip odometer and gear indicator display (for automatic 
transmission model) is centrally located within the speedometer face. 

Control and warning lamps are situated around the peripheral area of the instrument cluster. 

Notes on replacing instrument cluster 

z

Do not disassemble instrument cluster.  

z

Instrument clusters contain no field serviceable components. All malfunctions require replacement of 
instrument cluster.  

z

When the replacement of a malfunctioning instrument cluster is necessary, follow exchange part 
procedures.  

z

Complete report form and return together with instrument cluster and always use the original packaging 
from the new cluster when returning modules.  

z

The odometer reading must be matched to the new/exchange instrument cluster using an On Board 
Diagnostic (OBD) program  

z

Where applicable instrument cluster must be adapted for anti-theft immobilizer functions using an OBD 
program

See VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System or VAS 5052 Vehicle Diagnostic and 
Service System in mode Guided Fault Finding. 

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD), FUNCTION 

The instrument cluster is controlled by an internal microprocessor with On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability.

If malfunctions occur in monitored sensors and components, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) will be stored in 
memory. 

If OBD recognizes instrument cluster malfunctions related to the:  

z

odometer  

z

distance impulse number (K number)  

z

speedometer calibration  

the trip odometer display will change to show "dEF.". 

In this case, replace speedometer, See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING . 

Other malfunctions recognized by OBD will not cause the trip odometer display to change as described above. 

However, before performing any troubleshooting or inspection, always begin by checking for DTCs using the 
On Board Diagnostic (OBD) program. DTCs stored in memory are retrieved/checked with either VAG 
1551/1552 Scan Tools 

See ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) . 

or 

See VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System or VAS 5052 Vehicle Diagnostic and 
Service System in mode Guided Fault Finding. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS FROM M.Y. 2000 

Instrument clusters from m.y. 2000 are integrated into the vehicle CAN Data Bus network (may also be known 
as "CAN-Bus" or "Data-Bus"). 

The Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface -J533- (which is integrated into the instrument cluster) enables 
data to be exchanged between the vehicle CAN Data-Bus network and the Data Link Connector (DLC) "K-
wire". 

The Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface -J533- has specific On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capabilities. 

OBD from m.y. 2000 

See VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System or VAS 5052 Vehicle Diagnostic and 
Service System in mode Guided Fault Finding. 

Notes on replacing instrument cluster 

z

In addition to the normal service procedure of coding the instrument cluster and adapting the odometer 
reading, the Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface -J533- must also be separately coded according to
