Test 09: Mileage Status (In Kilometers)

Information and matching of any difference occurring between the km reading in the encoding connector and the redundant value soldered in the EEPROM can be reset by performing this test: If "- - - - - - -" is displayed in odometer display, external and internal EEPROM values are identical. If there is a difference in the readings stored in memory, the value displayed is always the lower reading. The supplement "I" indicates that this is in the internal EEPROM value. An "E" signifies that this is an external EEPROM (encoding connector) value. In addition, if counter readings differ, the manipulation point lights up.

After replacement of cluster or encoding connector, the higher km reading in the EEPROM can be matched to the lower reading by holding down the reset button when selecting the test function 09 for greater than 4 seconds. At this point, the service interval data is also transmitted. After successful matching, the manipulation point disappears. Replacement part must always have a smaller reading, otherwise the vehicle-specific km reading is overwritten.
