Instrument Cluster

Coding
The following coding options are available under the menu item "Coding":

Menu item
- Country coding

Function
Selection for following country codings:
USA, RoW, UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Japan
- Connect PST 2, switch on ignition and start the automatic control module search.
- Select vehicle type 911 (996) and control module instrument cluster
- Select menu item Coding
- Select menu item Country coding
- Select the respective country and code with F8 key.

Menu item
- Cruise control

Function
This menu item enables the instrument cluster to be coded after replacing the instrument cluster or after retrofitting a cruise-control actuator.
- Connect PST 2, switch on ignition and start the automatic control module search.
- Select vehicle type 911 (996) and control module instrument cluster
- Select menu item Coding
- Select menu item Cruise-control actuator
- Select the respective menu item with / without cruise-control actuator and code with F8 key

Menu item
- Vehicle Ident. No.

Function
It is possible to enter the Vehicle Ident. No. under this menu item after replacing the instrument cluster.
- Connect PST 2, switch on ignition and start the automatic control module search.
- Select vehicle type 911 (996) and control module instrument cluster
- elect menu item Coding
- Select menu item Vehicle Ident. No.
- Enter Vehicle Ident. No and code with F8 key

Menu item
- Activate instrument cluster

Function
This menu item enables the instrument cluster to be activated or deactivated. The deactivated instrument cluster is converted into the low-current mode (production mode) and can be automatically activated under the menu item Vehicle hand-over.
- Connect PST 2, switch on ignition and start the automatic control module search.
- Select vehicle type 911 (996) and control module instrument cluster
- Select menu item Coding
- Select menu item Activate instrument cluster
- Select the desired coding and code with F8 key.

Menu item
- Time

Function
Time entry option
- Connect PST 2, switch on ignition and start the automatic control module search.
- Select vehicle type 911 (996) and control module instrument cluster
- Select menu item Coding
- Select menu item Time
- Enter the time and code with F8 key

Total mileage
It is possible to code the total mileage under this menu item after replacing the instrument cluster.
1. Connect PST 2 and switch on ignition.
2. Select vehicle type 911 (996) and the instrument cluster control module and press the key >>
3. Select the menu item Transponder key and press the key >>.
4. You are requested to enter the Vehicle Ident. No.
5. Enter Vehicle Ident. No. or accept with the key >>, check the entry and press key F7.
6. Observe the instructions of the diagnosis tester, enter the total mileage with the tabulator key, check and then press the F8 key to code the entered total mileage.

The total mileage can also be read out from the old instrument cluster under the menu item "Control module replacement" and can be transferred into the new instrument cluster if the old replacement instrument is still functional and if it is possible to establish communication with the PST 2.

Tank calibration
See on this subject Refer Calibrating fuel level sensor system.

Speedometer A
A speed can be simulated under this menu item to check the function of dynamic volume control (speed-dependent volume). If the function of the dynamic volume is switched on and the speed is simulated by means of PST 2, the volume must change according to the speed. The higher the simulated speed, the higher the volume.

Control module replacement
Certain values can be read out of the old instrument cluster and can be transferred into the new instrument cluster. A prerequisite for this is that the communication can be set up between the old instrument cluster and PST 2. The following values can be read out of the old instrument cluster and can be transmitted into the new instrument cluster:
- Total mileage
- Tank calibration
- Vehicle Ident. No.

NOTE:
- The country coding is not read out and transferred via this function.
- Correct country coding is a prerequisite of the correct functioning of the instrument cluster.
