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.

Individual functions are called up using the appropriate channel numbers from table below:

Adaptation table:







Odometer, adaptation


NOTE:
- Market and equipment appropriate coding of instrument cluster must be performed before adaptation of odometer reading.
- The total distance travelled by the vehicle 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 not be more than 100 km (62 mi) before adaptation.
- The total distance travelled to be transferred to the new instrument cluster must 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 with the "C" button of the VAG 1551.
- Correcting a false entry which has been confirmed is not possible. The instrument cluster must be exchanged for a new one.
- Adaptation value must be entered in kilometers. For US models, adaptation value must be converted from miles to kilometers first (miles x 1.609 = kilometers).


Adaptation, example
The malfunctioning instrument cluster has an odometer reading of 89627 km. This reading is transferred to the new instrument cluster as follows:

- Connect scan tool VAG 1551, select operating mode 1 "Rapid data transfer", switch on ignition and enter address word 17 "instrument cluster".
- Press -Q- button to confirm input.
- Press -> button until "Select function"is displayed..

Indicated on display:


Rapid data transfer HELP
Select function XX


- Press buttons -1- and -0- to select "Adaptation" function 10.

Indicated on display:


Rapid data transfer Q
10 - Adaptation


- Press -Q- button to confirm input.

Indicated on display:


Adaptation
Enter channel number XX


- Press buttons -0- and -9- to select adaptation "channel 09".
- Press -Q- button to confirm input.

- Indicated on display:


Channel 9 Adaptation ->
<-1 3->


- Press -> button to advance program sequence.

Indicated on display:


Channel 9 Adaptation 0
Enter adaptation value XXXXX


- Enter adaptation value using VAG 1551 button pad.

The last position of the kilometer reading must be rounded off to the nearest 10 kms. Therefore, a kilometer reading of 89627 produces an adaptation value of:

0 8 9 6 3







- After entering adaptation value using VAG 1551 button pad,

Indicated on display (example only):


Channel 9 Adaptation 0 Q
Enter adaptation value 08963


- Press -Q- button to confirm input.

Indicated on display:


Channel 9 Adaptation 8963 Q
<-1 3->


The kilometer reading entered now appears in the display of the instrument cluster. If the displayed kilometer reading is not OK, e.g. false entry:

- Press -C- button and enter correct adaptation value again.

If the displayed kilometer reading in instrument cluster is OK:

- Press -Q- button to confirm input.

Indicated on display:


Channel 9 Adaptation 8963 Q
Store changed value?


- Press -Q- button to confirm input.

Indicated on display:


Channel 9 Adaptation 8963 ->
Changed value is stored


- End odometer adaptation by pressing -> button.
