It may be present following a reset of the Service Reminder Interval. There are no functional issues with the instrument cluster. 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.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10124493-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10124493-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10124493","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"instrument-cluster","name":"Instrument cluster","parent":"electrical"}],"codes":[],"topics":["maintenance"],"vehicles":[{"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","year_from":2011,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2011_audi_a3","2012_audi_a3","2013_audi_a3"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
