62 10 000 Check Function Of Instrument Cluster

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 BMW M Roadster, 2002 BMW M Coupe, 2001 BMW M Roadster, and 2001 BMW M Coupe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Since the E36/5 instrument cluster does not feature an on-board diagnosis interface, the following test functions are implemented in the functional scope. Some of them are comparable to familiar on-board computer test functions.

Test functions/overview

With the test functions 0 to 15, cluster reading and adjacent signal modes can be checked. Activation occurs with depressed reset button on trip-distance counter (TWSZ) when vehicle terminal R is selected at the same time.

The lettering "tESt" appears in the mileometer display (GWSZ), followed by the two-digit number "01" in the odometer display panel.

With each subsequent press of the button, the next higher test is selected. If the button is not actuated for longer than 1 second, the corresponding test is carried out.
