service AUDI A4 1999 B5 / 1.G Instrument Cluster OBD From Model Year 1999 Workshop Manual

01-2
The speedometer contains a LCD display for the
odometer, a trip odometer and the Service
Reminder Indicator (SRI).
Indicator lamps are integrated in the
speedometer and tachometer.
Accessory instruments are integrated into the
instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster is controlled by a
microprocessor and has extensive On Board
Diagnostic (OBD) capabilities. If any component
exhibit signs of failure, a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) is stored in the instrument cluster
DTC memory. The DTC can then be identified
using the VAG1551 or VAG1552 Scan Tool
(ST).

Note:
The descriptions in this Repair Manual reference
the VAS5051 Diagnostic Operation Center
(DOC) and the VAG1551 Scan Tool (ST).
The following Adaptations (adjustments) can be
carried out using the tool:

Adaptation of the fuel sensor characteristics
Adaptation of the fuel consumption display
Coding the language versions for the on-board
computer and Auto Check system.
Adaptation of the Service Reminder Indicator
(SRI)
Adaptation of the odometer after instrument
cluster replacement.

Instrument cluster replacement notes

Do not disassemble the instrument cluster.
All warning and indicator bulbs can be replaced
separately: m.y. 1997 Page 90
-4 ; 1998
Page 90
-15
. All other malfunctions require
replacing the complete instrument cluster.

If necessary, the instrument cluster should be
exchanged within the parts exchange program.
Fill in the Failure Description Form and send it
in, together with the instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster must be sent back in its
original packaging.
When replacing the instrument cluster, set the
Odometer display and the Service Reminder
Indicator (SRI) using the VAG1551 Scan Tool
(ST) Page 01

Adaptation (scan tool function 10)

Function 10 is used to initiate and store the
following changes:

Adaptation of fuel gauge display
Correction of the fuel consumption display
Coding of language versions for Auto Check
system
Adaptation of the Service Reminder Indicator
(SRI)
Setting the odometer after instrument cluster
replacement.
Individual functions are called up by entering the
appropriate adaptation channel number (see
adaptation table Page 01

Channel 5 Adaptation 1
- 1 3-

Indicated on display
The display shows the number of kilometers remaining until the next oil
change service is due (the "1" indicates 1000 km remaining).
Notes:
Values can only be entered in increments of 1000 km. Therefore, the
distance indicated is in units of 1000. In countries where speedometers are calibrated in miles, adjustments
must still be made in kilometers. Therefore convert miles to kilometers
(miles x 1.609 = kilometers) to get the required adaptation value. If the instrument cluster must be replaced, observe notes Page 01

.
When using the scan tool keypad, only the direct input method can be
used. If an incorrect value is input, the "adaptation" function 10 will be
cancelled and must be initiated again.
