Identifying Your Instrument Panel
VDO Instrument Cluster
VDO Instrument Cluster W/Turbo
Yazaki Instrument Cluster
There are two types of instrument cluster: the microprocessor- based VDO and the simpler Yazaki version. The main difference between the VDO and
Yazaki instrument panels is that the Yazaki has no:
-
Diagnostics system.
-
Service reminder light (Except USA/CAN).
-
Trip computer, as there is no microprocessor.
The easiest way of telling whether a instrument cluster is a VDO or Yazaki is to look at the outside.
The Yazaki has:
-
Distinctly separate instrument modules.
-
The odometer and trip meter are located above and below the speedometer needle respectively.
-
The speedometer and tachometer scales are located outside the numbers.
-
The tachometer is marked in 8 x 1000 rpm.
The VDO has:
-
The odometer and trip odometer are located below the needle on the speedometer.
-
The dashes on the scale of the speedometer and tachometer are inside their digits.
-
The tachometer is graduated into 7 x 1,000 rpm (for diesel 5 x 1,000 rpm).
