Odometer: Service and Repair

Adaptation (function 10)

Use this function to initiate and store the following changes:
- Adaptation of odometer reading when replacing/exchanging instrument cluster
- Adaptation of fuel gauge reading
- Adaptation of MFI fuel consumption indicator (where applicable)

Individual functions are called up using the appropriate channel number from adaptation table.

Adaptation table:

Adaptation channel Adaptation functions
03 Fuel consumption indicator adaptation (where applicable)
09 Odometer adaptation
16 Distance impulse number (K number):Read only.Cannot be changed
30 Fuel gauge, checking (adaptation)


NOTE: After changing an adaption value or ending an adaption channel the function "10- Adaption" must be performed to select another adaption channel!


Odometer, adaptation


NOTE:
- The total distance travelled can be read from the malfunctioning instrument cluster, or determined by the vehicle service history.
- The total distance travelled display of new instrument cluster must be more than 100 km (62 mi) before adaptation.
- The total distance travelled to be transferred to the new instrument cluster must not exceed 100 km (62 mi).
- Adapting the total distance travelled is only possible once and only in a positive (upwards) direction.
- Adaptation can be interrupted using the "C" button of the VAG 1551 scan tool.
- Correcting a false entry which has been confirmed is not possible. The instrument cluster must be exchanged for a new one.
- For instrument clusters with mile indicators, adaptation must be performed in kilometers. Mileage values must be converted to kilometers (1 mile is approx. 1.609 kilometers). The control module for instrument cluster calculates the mileage in miles from the value entered in kilometers.


Example:
The malfunctioning instrument cluster has an odometer display of 89627 km. The odometer value can be transferred to the new instrument cluster as follows:
- Connect VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST), select operating mode 1 "Rapid data transfer", switch ignition on and enter address word 17 for "instrument cluster".

After control module identification is displayed:

- Press -> button.

Distance impulse number (K number), reading


NOTE:
- The distance impulse number is a constant value that is required for calculating the speed indication and the distance traveled.
- The distance impulse number (K number) cannot be changed via the "adaptation" function!
- For instrument clusters with mile indicators, the distance impulse number is shown in kilometers. The trip impulse number for mile values can be calculated as follows: Trip impulse number for kilometer values x 1.609 See trip impulse number for mile values.
- Press the -C- button on the VAG 1551 to abort the "Read distance impulse number" function.


- Connect VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST), select operating mode 1 "Rapid data transfer", switch ignition on and enter address word 17 for "instrument cluster".
