Condition
• DTC 00003 (Control Module - no or incorrect basic setting/adaptation) is stored in the instrument cluster control
module, J285 (address word 17). It may be present following a reset of the Service Reminder Interval.
• There are no functional issues with the instrument cluster.
Technical Background
The instrument cluster is pre-programmed to allow a maximum service interval of 15,000 kilometers, and checks
to see that this value is not exceeded. The US market uses a service interval of 10,000 miles, which is equal to
16,000 kilometers. Because this value is higher than the maximum allowed service interval, the discrepancy
causes the DTC to set.
Production Solution
Not applicable.
Service
• If there are no functional issues with the instrument cluster, disregard the DTC.
• If there are functional issues with the instrument cluster, this bulletin does not apply.
