CORRECTION
Do not replace parts for this issue.
1. Perform a vehicle test using the latest ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application) diagnostic software. Complete all test modules related to instrument cluster faults. If no faults are stored, continue to the next step.
Note:
When the ISTA system message displays: Battery voltage only "XX.XX" V. Please connect charger. Please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section. This documentation is not necessary when part of an approved Technical Service repair procedure; the battery charger is required to be attached before performing the Vehicle Test.
2. Reprogram the vehicle using ISTA/P 2.48.2 or later.
New integration level:
F01, F02, F04, F07 - F001-12-11-503 or higher
F10, F12, F13 - F010-12-11-503 or higher
Note that ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to CenterNet / Aftersales Portal / Service / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.
