    CODE miles/km?

    My battery was out today (silly me, left the lights on) and I had to jump start it. Now I have a "CODE miles/km" on the cluster display. Does anyone know how to clear that?

    I've never heard of that message... do you know what generation the cluster is? original to the car? dumb question but, it's an E34 right?

    540i, production date 10/94. Original cluster.

    i googled and this came up in a few posts but no stated solution. All happened to original clusters.

    Don't mean to hijack the thread on you, but mine's saying 'owners manual' after a dead battery. Maybe our problems have a common solution. Hopefully someone has an idea to what's going on.

    Probably the coding plug is corrupted, you need a new coding plug.
    Try one time to disconnect the battery, wait 30 minutes and then connect again, if it fails, you need a new coding plug.

    Success!

    I have carsoft 6.5, so today I hooked it up for a diagnosis. No error from cluster, so it was most likely a residual error from the battery jump. Then I did a erase error for the cluster and everything goes back to normal. It took no more than 5 minutes.

    @SazoR20: as you have an E36 325i, better ask for details how to handle this in the E36 forum
