VCDS Release 11.11 PDF Manual Printing Instructions: - Ross-Tech

VCDS – EDC-15-16 Mileage Checker - Section 27-A
[EDC-15-16 Mileage] is found in the Applications Screen and is used to show an
independent "odometer" reading stored in the ECU. EDC-15 is found in older TDI engines
like the North American market VE 1.9L Golf/Jetta/etc. EDC-16 is used in 2.0L TDI's
including all North American PD engines, but not in the newest CR engines. This function
also works with some EDC-15 V6 TDI ECUs. This function can be useful as a means of
cross-checking the mileage on a used car before making a purchase, particularly in Europe
where odometer fraud is rampant.
The Option field is only to be used if you are given specific instructions from Ross-Tech.
