SITUATION
A small black spot remains on the Central Information Display’s (CID) illuminated screen which does not go
away after a key cycle or sleep mode.
CAUSE
Dead pixels in the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) diodes.
Each individual light pixel on an LCD screen is made up of three diodes- red, blue and green. If all three fail, the
pixel will appear as a permanent black dot. Dead pixels can occur as a result of:
Blunt force contact to the screen that does not result in a cracked surface
Non-functioning diodes
Manufacturer defects (e.g., gas bubble)
CORRECTION
Replace the CID.
PROCEDURE
Refer to Repair Instructions 65 50 057 “Removing and installing/replacing Central Information Display (CID)”

During the same workshop visit, if a vehicle also requires another Technical Campaign or repair that also
includes programming and encoding the control units, the programming procedure may only be invoiced one
time.
Programming and Encoding - Vehicle Control Units
A. The programming procedure automatically reprograms and encodes all vehicle control modules which do not
have the latest software i-level. If one or more control module failures occur “during” this programming
procedure:
• Please claim this “consequential” control module-related repair work under the defect code listed in this
bulletin with the applicable AIR/KSD2 labor operations.
Please explain this additional work (The why and what) on the repair order and in the claim comments section.
B. For control module failures that occurred “prior” to performing this programming procedure:
• When “covered” under an applicable limited warranty, claim this control module-related repair work using the
applicable defect code and labor operations (including diagnosis) in AIR/KSD2.
