Fuel Level Sensor, Adaptation After Replacement




Adaptation (Scan Tool Function 10)

Function 10 is used to initiate and store the following changes:
- Adaptation of fuel gauge display
- Correction of the fuel consumption display
- Coding of language versions for Auto Check system
- Adaptation of the Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- Setting the odometer after instrument cluster replacement.

Individual functions are called up by entering the appropriate adaptation channel number (See adaptation table).
