INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THROUGH M.Y. 2000 - VIN 8N_Y040000 AND

SOFTWARE VERSION D24
GENERAL INFORMATION
The instrument cluster contains an electronic speedometer, tachometer, liquid crystal (LCD) displays for
odometer, trip odometer, digital clock with date, as well as analog coolant temperature and fuel level gauges.
Control and warning lamps are situated within the speedometer and tachometer faces.
A "Driver's Information System" LCD is located between the tachometer and speedometer. Displayed
information includes an auto check system, outside air temperature, radio frequency and selectable trip
computer functions.
The auto check system integrated with the Driver's Information System monitors the brake system, coolant
temperature, fuel level, engine oil pressure, and displays the ambient temperature as a default.
The optional Navigation system display is also included in the Driver's Information System (where applicable).
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD), FUNCTION
The instrument cluster is controlled by a microprocessor and has extensive On Board Diagnostic (OBD)
capability. If malfunctions occur in any of the system components, corresponding DTCs are stored in the
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory of the instrument cluster.
If OBD recognizes instrument cluster malfunctions related to the:
z odometer
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.
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 VAG 1551 scan tool or VAS
5051 tester in mode "Self Diagnosis". See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD),
INITIATING (through m.y. 2000 - VIN 8N_Y040000 and software version D24).
Where applicable, also use VAS 5051 tester in mode "Guided Fault Finding"
