If a control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the Warranty
Policy and Procedures manual, or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to the installation of a new
module/component.
When performing voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter accurate to three decimal places, and with
an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance always take the resistance of the digital multimeter leads into
account.

Symptom Chart
The instrument cluster contains a self-diagnostic mode known as engineering test mode (ETM). This can be used to show the
status of the instrument cluster inputs as well as a number of other useful features.
When in the ETM, the Message Centre displays internal data that can be cycled through. All functions except the message
centre display will continue to operate normally unless otherwise noted.
This document is to be used in conjunction with the instrument cluster ETM (see relevant section within this document) and
the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) facility; this does not supersede or replace the IDS facility.
Go directly to the 'Area of Concern/Symptom' that indicates the customer concern(s) and perform the actions described within
the relevant section(s):
