INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FROM 06.99 & UP, ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD)

GENERAL INFORMATION 

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 together with an indication of malfunction type. A maximum of 4 DTCs can be stored simultaneously. 

Sporadic malfunctions (indicated in the readout by "SP") are automatically cancelled if not repeated in the next 
50 engine start cycles. 

For OBD purposes, the instrument cluster counts one start cycle whenever the ignition is switched on longer 
than 5 min. and a minimum speed of 30 km/h (18.5 mp/h) is exceeded. 

Before performing any troubleshooting or inspection, always begin by checking for DTCs using the OBD 
program. DTCs stored in memory are retrieved/checked with either the VAG 1551/1552 Scan Tool (ST) or 
VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnostic Tester. 

Instrument clusters from 06.99 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. 

-J533- must be coded depending on the vehicle equipment when replacing the instrument cluster. See DATA 
BUS ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACE -J533- "GATEWAY"
 .

Notes on exchanging instrument cluster 

z

Do not disassemble instrument cluster.  

z

When replacing an instrument cluster is necessary, follow normal exchange part procedures.  

z

Complete report form and return together with instrument cluster.  

z

Use original packaging from new cluster when returning items.  

z

Replacement instrument clusters must be coded according to vehicle market version and equipment level 
variables using VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST). See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER UP TO 10.00 MODELS, 
CODING (FUNCTION 07)
 .  

z

Odometer reading must be adapted to the replacement instrument cluster. See Adaptation (function 10) 

z

The Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface -J533- must be coded according to vehicle market version 
and equipment level variables, See Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface -J533- "Gateway" .  

z

Where applicable, replacement instrument clusters must be adapted to Engine Control Module (ECM) for 
anti-theft immobilizer function. Use VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System in 
operating mode "Guided Fault Finding".  

ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, LOCATIONS 

NOTE:

The following description and illustrations deal specifically with the VAG1551 
scan tool. VAG 1552 and VAS 5051 procedures are similar.

CAUTION: Before beginning repairs on the electrical system: 

z

Obtain the anti-theft radio security code.  

z

Switch off all electrical consumers.  

z

Switch ignition off and remove ignition key.  

z

Disconnect negative (-) battery terminal.  

z

When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals, observe all 
applicable Notes and torque specifications, as well as instructions on 
performing OBD program and electrical system function checks as 
specified. .
