NOTE!
•
Read off other fault codes for the instrument cluster.
•
Turn the ignition OFF before disconnecting the con-
nector.
•
Check all the relevant connectors. Check for loose
connections, contact resistance and oxidation. For a
detailed description of electrical fault tracing, see
separate service information under function group
371.
Tests in VCADS Pro
The following tests are useful for a closer examination of
the component function:
•
”3810–08–02–01 Instrument cluster test”.
•
”3810–08–02–02 Gauge checks, instrument cluster”.
Measurement at the component’s
connector to the instrument cluster
Note: Faults in the instrument cluster cable harness can
damage the component. Check the component if any of
the readings is outside its permitted range.
