BMW fault code 0016

Instrument panel

Instrument cluster button defective

Module versions: Instrument panel (KOMBI36), Instrument panel (KOMBI361)

Which BMWs have these versions depends on the engine and equipment, so we don't list them here; AutoLingo for BMW reads which version your car has.

Reading and clearing it

Fault code 0016 is a BMW code, stored in the car's instrument panel, not a generic OBD2 code (P0xxx): a generic OBD2 reader only reaches the engine's emissions faults, so it won't show it. AutoLingo for BMW reads it with BMW's own diagnostic protocols, in plain English, with the details the module stored about it, and clears it after a repair. If a fault comes right back after it's cleared, the problem is still there.

The instrument panel is on: 3 Series (E36), Z3 (E36/7)
