    Hello,
    I recently repaired a customer's odometer from an Audi A6 C6, 2008.
    Sent to me with broken LCD backlight.
    I replaced the inverter because it was interrupted on the secondary winding.
    Prophylactically, without checking, I also replaced the 74HC08A and MOSFET Si9945A gate, because they reportedly fall frequently.
    Instead of the 74HC08A, I gave the version without "A" that is normal, not Automotive grade.
    Unfortunately, then I did not have how to test the meter outside the car, so I sent it back.
    The customer put it in the car and everything worked.

    A few hours later he called me saying that the word "dEF" appeared on the meter and the lights were still flashing. It also says that VAG-COM reports ICM errors, but that may be because I was plugging the meter into the power supply on my desk, so maybe it's all sensor missing errors etc.

    What could this dEF error mean?
    Could this have something to do with my repair? (I exclude some careless soldering, these circuits are huge, soldering according to the art)

    He sent me a picture of the CD, you can't see anything burned out.

    For now, I've told him to erase all errors and try to fire up, then read again.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    best regards

    Error eep. e.g. after bad correction.

    He also sent me pictures of these bugs:

    unfortunately, I don't know if he deleted the errors before, as I told him. It's hard to get information from him, even though he's a car electrician.
    I rather doubt that these errors have anything to do with this situation.
    You write an EEPROM error, so I guess I think it has absolutely nothing to do with my replacement of the inverter, gate and MOSFET?

    The customer insisted on sending the meter back to me, because it was working before the repair (although it also worked for several hours after the repair).
    I hope I can recreate this state, "dEF" error on the desk without the car.

    Alternatively, if it's an EEPROM error, will I be able to do something with just an XPROG? I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

    Errors are the button on the panel to test the meter and controls, maybe he has too big fingers and he broke February.

    I got the meter back, plugged it on the desk and it seems to be working.
    I didn't even open it.
    This is what it looks like:





    How do you think, I can assume that everything is ok, or that the client himself mixed up something with the course / adaptation?

    Perhaps the mileage is too small? How did you connect the meter / em.can /

    I emulated the frames I got from Zdzisław z modernsoft.pl

    As for the mileage, I don't know, it's 62,765 miles or 101,010 km. Errors are recorded at 100988 and 100990, so if something was buried, it was earlier. The car is from 2008. The fact that mine at the same age is twice as old.
    I would like to add that the client is a car dealer / mechanic who employs a car electrician to contact me and remove / insert the meter. As far as I understand correctly, the car belongs to their client. If they mixed up something, it would probably be out of stupidity / ignorance.
    I don't know what to think about it anymore.

    The meter is operational / I think so / you cannot check without a car.

    WELCOME.
    THE METER OF THE A6C6 2005-3.2 PETROL ENGINE HAS DIED
    4F0920931E H16
    SW: 4F0910930A S0630
    METER PROD 10.11.2005
    Stood in the sun against a wall and so overheated. Ignition switched on and betka nothing works, no communication in diagnostics, I won't connect to #17. No readings displays all dead, including fis. Backlight under fis is there - white glow only. I bought new clocks identical, haven't fastened them yet.
    Does anyone know if there is already OC protection for the component and if I switch the eeprom alone if the org is not dead, should it work or will it be uphill? Pictures are attached
    Cheers Zbyszek K.

    I'm not an expert on replacing anything because I'm always repairing, but I recall trying to replace it once because the hole under the MOSFET was so big that I didn't want to do it. I remember that flipping the EEP alone didn't work, the MCU had to be flipped as well. I suspect that with the right threshold you can easily add such a counter to the car, I don't have such tools though, because I don't need them.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around an Audi A6 C6 (2008) odometer repair that resulted in a "dEF" error after the replacement of the inverter, 74HC08A, and Si9945A MOSFET. The user initially replaced the inverter due to a fault in the secondary winding and prophylactically changed the 74HC08A and MOSFET without testing the meter outside the vehicle. After installation, the customer reported the "dEF" error and flashing lights, with VAG-COM indicating ICM errors. Subsequent responses suggest the error may relate to EEPROM issues rather than the user's repairs. The user received the meter back, tested it on the desk, and found it operational, raising questions about potential user error during installation. The conversation highlights the complexities of diagnosing electronic faults in automotive components.
