Instrument Cluster/Carrier



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.
