Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Additional Information, Instrument Clusters From M.Y. 2000

Instrument clusters from m.y. 2000 are integrated into the vehicle CAN Data Bus network (may also be known as "CANBus" 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.

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.
