Additional Information, Instrument Clusters

Instrument clusters from m.y. 2000 are integrated into the vehicle CAN Data Bus network (also 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

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
- 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 vehicle market version and equipment level variables

From m.y. 2000:
