Distance impulse number (K-number), reading/confirming
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Distance impulse number can only be read/confirmed on VDO instrument clusters.
Distance impulse number for MMO instrument clusters. Refer to Code control module, Instrument cluster, coding (function 07) .
NOTE:
- The distance impulse number is a constant used to calculate the speed indication and distance travelled.
- The distance impulse number (K number) cannot be changed using the "Adaptation" function!
- For instrument clusters with mile indicators, the distance impulse number is shown in kilometers. The trip impulse number for mile values can be calculated as follows: Trip impulse number for kilometer values x 1.609 = trip impulse number for mile values.
- Press the -C- button on the VAG 1551 to abort the "Read distance impulse number" function.
- Connect scan tool VAG 1551, select operating mode 1 "Rapid data transfer", switch on ignition and enter address word 17 "instrument cluster".
