Diagnosis and Testing

Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS)

Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern.
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Visual Inspection Chart

Mechanical Electrical
  • Engine oil filter
  • Engine oil level
  • Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
  • Engine coolant level
  • Thermostat
  • Collapsed or damaged fuel tank
  • Door adjustment
  • Fuse(s)
  • Wiring harness
  • Electrical connector(s)
  • Instrument cluster
  • Light emitting diode(s) (LED)(s)
  1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  1. NOTE:
    NOTE:If none of the following warning indicators are operating correctly this may indicate a concern with the central junction box (CJB). If only one or two of the following warning indicators are not operating correctly this may indicate an instrument cluster concern.
    Verify the following warning indicators are working correctly:
  • Charging.
  • Turn signals.
  • Headlamps.
  1. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and enter the instrument cluster Self-Diagnostic Mode.

Self-Diagnostic Mode. Vehicles with low series instrument cluster

NOTE:
NOTE:The instrument cluster tripmeter reset button is located on the right-hand side of the instrument cluster lens.
  1. To enter the instrument cluster Self-Diagnostic Mode. Simultaneously press and hold the tripmeter RESET button and turn the ignition switch from position 0, to position II.
  1. Entry to the Self-Diagnostic Mode is confirmed when 'tESt' is displayed in the odometer tripmeter liquid crystal display (LCD). The tripmeter reset button must be released within three seconds of 'tESt' being displayed or the instrument cluster will exit the Self-Diagnostic mode.
  1. To navigate through or skip any of the instrument cluster Self-Diagnostic Mode tests, press the tripmeter RESET button. If the reset button is depressed for more than 3 seconds between tests, the instrument cluster will exit the Self-Diagnostic Mode.
  1. The Self-Diagnostic Mode is deactivated when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position or low battery voltage is detected.
  1. If input data to the instrument cluster is missing or invalid, the tripmeter LCD will display '----'
  1. If the Self-Diagnostic Mode cannot be accessed, use WDS to diagnose the instrument cluster.
NOTE:
NOTE:Additional tests are available after the following Self-Diagnostic Mode tests, but are not applicable for this diagnostic.

  1. The self-diagnostic mode is to act as a guide to establish if the concern is instrument cluster related. Before any other action is taken REFER to WDS to continue diagnostics.

Configuration of the Instrument Cluster

The instrument cluster is a programmable module, which must be configured by selecting the Programmable Module Installation Routine on WDS.

NOTE:
NOTE:When the new instrument cluster has been configured with the odometer value, its configuration cannot be decreased or matched. A new configuration will result in an increase in the displayed odometer value by a minimum of two units.
NOTE:
NOTE:The odometer value must be recorded from the original instrument cluster before removal.
NOTE:
NOTE:If the odometer value cannot be obtained from the original instrument cluster (display failure) the customer should supply the approximate value.

The following features will need to be configured when a new instrument cluster is installed:

  • Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
  • Trip computer
  • Parking aid
  • Belt minder
  • Safety belt not fastened
  • Right-hand drive
  • Overspeed warning
  • Reverse warning
  • Turbocharger boost pressure
  • Washer fluid sensor
  • Navigation
  • Fuel cap release
  • Engine type
  • Display language

In addition the new instrument cluster will require the original odometer value to be entered.

After the installation and configuration of a new instrument cluster. The passive anti-theft system (PATS) will require programming by selecting the Security Access routine on WDS.
