Adaptation channel 30-Adaptation of fuel gauge sender resistance range

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2005 Audi allroad, 2004 Audi allroad, 2004 Audi A6, 2003 Audi allroad, and 2003 Audi S6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This function is used to adjust the fuel gauge sender resistance range if the fuel gauge display in the instrument cluster does not match the actual amount of fuel in the tank.

  1. Channel 30 read and test
  2. Tank sensor
  3. Keypad - only direct input via the keypad is possible
  4. The sliding bar is positioned on the current adaptation value, for example, 128
NOTE:
  • "128" is the adaptation value for the standard resistance range for the fuel gauge sender as set by the factory.
  • The resistance value for the fuel gauge sender resistance range can be adjusted by +/-8 Ohm to give an adaptation value between 120 and 136.
  • Only direct input via the keypad is possible!
  • If the value "128" was changed due to a customer complaint, the changed value must be transferred when replacing instrument cluster.

Example:

Desired input value: 132

Keypad input: 00132
