I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen posts on forums and Audi Facebook Groups with people asking what any particular symbol on their instrument cluster screen is. Although it’s incredibly entertaining to read people’s hilarious interpretations of these symbols are, I wanted to just post this up so that it is easily referenced whenever anyone needs it.
Years ago, the speedometer on my 4th Generation 4Runner had been working intermittently; it appeared that the stepper motor had stopped working. I replaced the stepper motor and the speedometer had started working again. About a year later, my speedometer had failed again but this time several of my gauges stopped working. Since stepper motors can be costly, especially if you’re replacing more than one, sometimes it’s more cost-effective to replace the entire instrument cluster.
