Instrument cluster 05.00 >, coding (function 07)

Using this function the instrument cluster can be coded as follows:

• Available equipment activation
• Market versions
• Service Intervals
• Distance impulse number (K-number)

Initiating coding 

• 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 -0- and -7- to select "Code control module" function 07.

Code assembly				Designations
1+2	3	4	5	Position
00 01 02 04				Available equipment1)  None Brake pad wear warning Seatbelt warning Washer fluid level warning
	2 3			Market version  USA (US) Canada (CDN)
		3		Service interval  USA/CDN models without Service Interval display
			2 4	Distance impulse number (K number)2)  3538 3648

1) To determine code number for first two positions, add applicable available equipment code numbers together. For example, to activate brake wear indicator and seatbelt warning: 01 + 02 = 03 (in positions 1+2).

2) Distance impulse number is a constant used to calculate speed indication and distance travelled and is dependent on engine/transmission combination. Refer to DISTANCE IMPULSE NUMBER, DETERMINING  . Distance impulse number can only be read/confirmed using function 10, "Adaptation". Refer to Distance impulse number (K number), reading/confirming  .

Engine/Transmission combinations:		Code:
all engines with 5-speed automatic transmission		4
all other engine/transmission combinations		2
