L322 clock reset

[jx2mad]

Hi All! I recently had to disconnect my battery and now, having reconnected it I can't reset the clock. Darn. It is 45m fast and no amount of button pressing makes it reset. Jim

Disconnect the battery again and connect it at 12:00 :D

I hope this helps !

Thanks, Laurie. Mine hasn't got the sat nav inbuilt. I have the handbook but it doesn't work. Jim

Jim, presume then you must have the MID panel and a cd slot above it. On MID panel, there is a button on the lower right with the clock image on it.
Press that and then one of the radio buttons has set time or similar, and change the date and time, etc. there.

Thanks Maxintosh. That is what I am doing but the clock is doing nothing. Jim

Hi Jim, the clock is a separate item in the console panel, and it has power connector at its rear (from memory), if you have had any of these panels out, you might have dislodged the connector?!?

Nothing pulled out. Clock is running but can't be adjusted

Jim,
I presume the clock resets always to 12 whenever power is pulled and replaced?
Does the digital clock read the same time as the analogue one?
Check the fuse in the glovebox (there is more than one if I can remember anything anymore).
Do you have an Intravee II or ipod device installed or something similar, I have read somewhere before that these can stuff up the clock?
Or you may have had some low voltage errors that occur with flat/dead/dying battery/alternator?

Does the OBC still work?
Mine has failed so the only way to reset the clock is to remove power from it. The OBC display still works though.

All seems normal. Clock runs so power ok. Nothing plugged in anywhere, Just wont reset. When I first reconnected battery the display in the centre wouldn't change. IE Turn radio on and station numbers ok. try to change anything on info key and nothing happened. It suddenly righted itself, all except clock reset.

[Maxintosh]

Maybe you should try the old computer repair trick, turn it off and on again :D
If all OBC computer functions are working and there is nothing interfering (causing noise or wrong codes) on the i-Bus, the I would suggest try disconnecting the battery for a good period and touch the two negative and positive leads together to reset, and try again.

OK all. I found the problem. The handbook is wrong. It misses out a crucial step. Jim

[Maxintosh]

What's the crucial step?

[jx2mad]

Switch on ignition
Press the clock symbol
Press the set button (the book misses this step) This enters the programming mode.
Adjust minutes hours
Repress the set button and the analogue clock readjusts to time set.
