BMW Instrument Cluster OBC - Test : Diagnostics /// 330i (E46)

This is how you run a Diagnostics test for your instrument cluster (OBC) to see if all the lights and dials are fully functional and operating correctly.

It is a good way to check to see if any 'warning' bulbs are out in your cluster.

roger that, my friend.

[oscarv362370]

where the green fog light is.... there is another yellow one.. what is that for?? thanks

[bimmersgarage]

@oscarv362370

That yellow light icon by the green is for the rear fog lamps... However, it's not a standard feature on U.S. made vehicles.

hows about on an e36?

i just don't get it, why do you even put ypur key into position 2, if the position 1 is enough! i mean u're killing the battery on position 2, and if you want to watch how parameters change just start the motor...

P.S. jerekawa400 on almost every beemer it's the same. Function defer by year's slightly and depending on the fuel type - gasoline or diesel and diesel bmw is not a myth :D

@stin987

Fair enough.. Look forward to it.

[stin987]

@bimmersgarage No but I can record it next time I work on one. I will only show the video of the cluster test. I cannot give out info on how to access the cluster tests b/c I could be fired from my job. Sorry. I'm sure many people know how already but they will not learn from me.

@stin987

Do you have a video of the F01 cluster test?

[stin987]

I work on bmw's. The cluter test is hardly ever used. The only thing tat goes bad is the lcd sometimes not as often on the newer ones. There are far more things you sould worry about when buying one. Not to say it is not a cool test. You sould see what the new F01 looks like during the cluster test.
