prets this as a fault, and a fault code is stored.
Possible cause:
•
Open-circuit in the data link cable between the in-
strument cluster and other control units.
•
Short-circuit to ground in the data link cable be-
tween the instrument cluster and other control units.
•
Short-circuit to voltage in the data link cable be-
tween the instrument cluster and other control units.
Reaction from the instrument cluster:
•
Fault code is stored.
Noticeable external symptoms:
•
Lighting functions disappear from the instrument
cluster.
