Few days ago the color display in my cluster started going a bit wonky and sometimes it would take a very long time (up to 5min) to turn ON once I started the car.

I did a VCDS scan it came up with some fault codes, but one of the codes in particular surprised me.

The fault code that came up for the cluster is directly below. I'm still not sure what the issue could be. If it was the wiring I would expect it to go ON and OFF intermittently, but instead if when I start the car if it doesn't come on, it always comes back on after about 5min of driving. Almost as if it take a long time to "boot". Any ideas here?.

01317 - Control Module in Instrument Cluster (J285)
004 - No Signal/Communication - Intermittent
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 00100100
Fault Priority: 5
Fault Frequency: 16
Reset counter: 92
Mileage: 82061 km

The fault code that I was very surprised to see was:

00924 - Relay for Headlamp Cleaning System (J39)
014 - Defective
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 01101110
Fault Priority: 2
Fault Frequency: 1
Reset counter: 52

The thing is that I don't have the Headlamp Cleaning System. That got me thinking and I checked the coding for module [09] - Central Electronics. The coding options applicable are:

0xx?xxx: Headlight Type
0 = Halogen Headlights w/o Headlight Washer System
1 = Halogen Headlights with Headlight Washer System
2 = Bi-Xenon Headlights
3 = Bi-Xenon Headlights with AFS
4 = Bi-Xenon Headlights w/o Headlight Washer System
5 = LED Daytime Running Lights with Headlight Washer System
6 = LED Daytime Running Lights w/o Headlight Washer System

I have the Bi-Xenon Headlights with AFS but I DON'T have the Headlight Washer System. My question is, what is the correct coding for me? It was set to 3, but when I changed it to 4 and enabled the Showroom Effect in module [55] - Headlight Aim Control, AFS still worked. Is it possible I was getting the 00924 - Relay for Headlamp Cleaning System (J39) fault code because it was looking for the Headlight Washer System when one was not actually installed?
