[Silverback]

Just had this come up. Anyone seen it before or know a quick fix?
Turning the car on and off does not work.

You must shut and lock the car for about 20min for it to go into deep sleep. Then check it.
Else it's service appointment time.

Thanks Ron, I did that yesterday and it was still there. This morning though all back to normal. So fingers crossed it stays fixed.
Thanks for the reply.

It has gone away and come back a couple of times now. I will need to get it booked in.

Yes had this loads of times, they said the latest rehash of the system would resolve it but it didn't, it was quite intermittent but on a recent trip it happened about 40 times, on a couple of occasions leaving the dash blank and even stopping the analogue clock. The car is going back in again next week for the third time to try and resolve it, the problem is when they plug the car in the fault isn't recorded as it seems to disappear between trips.

It happens to me as well. In the US, the message shows is "Instrument Cluster Defective, Service Necessary". It seems to happen when the temperature outside is quite high, so I suspect some sort of a temp sensor issue.

Did you get a response from them? I had the issue last summer, and they said the update would fix it. Did not get it after the update, but temperatures outside also dropped. Has reappeared now as temp are rising. My theory that this has to do with heat, but lets see.

I may have a similar problem, posted speed limit on dash freezes @ 55 mph.

Mine has been in 3 times now and it is currently in again to have the instrument cluster replaced . It is such an unpredictable fault I could go days with no issue and then 50 plus times on one trip including once taking out the analogue clock too. I continually have issues with it picking up Apple CarPlay too sometimes it picks it up straight away and then for days at a time nothing and I have to listen to the radio , bizarre ?

Today my instrument cluster went black. Let’s see tomorrow how the car feels and if it does it again, I think mine needs to be replaced or reprogrammed…

Thank God it was just an overheating protection. 24 hr sleep and she is ready again. She really has a soul ?

Just got delivery of my new car and got this too. Instrument cluster buttons are not working. Will check if it resets. Outlook not good based on what I am reading did you find a permanent fix?

Mine went in for the recall, a service and to sort the cluster faulty(yes I have had the fault for over a year) last week. Mine came on intermittently, sometimes fine for weeks. However, it now comes on at start up and then the error will return every 15mins without fail, (you clear the fault with the back button on the steering wheel) so the system must be checking something every 15mins. The display goes a bit dimmer and none of the buttons work, which is no big deal, unless you need your fog lights.
The dealer was doing the updates and the screen just went black and is not coming back, so a new cluster is in order from Germany, so stuck in a petrol Macan for a week. You forget what a step forward the taycan is in terms of refinement, instant torque and the gearbox only needing two gears, so no messing around taking ages to drop a gear.

So....my Taycan got a full replacement cluster and now everything is working, so I have fog lights again, which is handy given the time of year.
