How to Reprogram an Odometer after Swapping Clusters

Күн бұрын

Here's how to reprogram the digital odometer on a car when you swap instrument clusters.
Most vehicles store mileage information on the instrument cluster. If the cluster must be replaced, upgraded or swapped from kilometers to miles, the odometer must be reprogrammed to match the correct mileage that the vehicle has traveled.
Disclaimer: Misrepresenting mileage upon the resale of a vehicle without full disclosure is illegal. Reprogramming your own car's odometer is not illegal.
This video was original posted on my speedkar99 channel.
In this video, a Toyota Corolla's instrument cluster is upgraded to one with a tachometer and thermometer. The EEPROM chip, which stores the mileage information, is located on the speedometer portion of the circuit, underneath the odometer display.
The EEPROM chip is then desoldered and connected to a serial device programmer - either a stand-alone programmer, or few bucks in resistors and diodes wired directly to the serial port of a computer.
Ponyprog is a free software that can read from a computer's serial port. Once its setup to read from COM1, the EEPROM chip is selected, in this case, a microwire 93C46 chip. The information is then read from the chip and dumped onto the computer.
The odometer reading is stored in inverted HEX characters, repeated three times. Once decoded, new HEX characters can be written to the chip, and the chip replaced into the speedometer circuit.
This process was demonstrated on a 2001 Toyota Corolla, and is similar for many recent model Japanese cars that store odometer reading in the instrument cluster.
This process is also valid for Toyota Corolla and Matrix vehicles that are stuck at 299K and can be reset to zero.
This video was originally posted on the speedkar99 channel but has been moved to speedkar100 channel.

This is brilliant! You lost me at:"...then you can pick off the cluster", but I watched the video through anyway, lost in respect and admiration. I think I know what my little garage would say if I asked them to try this (they changed the cluster on our Toyota Previa this morning - which is why I am here). Best wishes from the UK.

Is it possible to take off the needle and gauge face of the speedometer assembly and swap the face from a new gauge onto the old one’s electronics as a way to make the odometer match? Or is the needle attached/connected to what makes it move in a way that would make that too complicated.

I was wondering will get in trouble with the DMV or the inspection office once I switch my cluster on my 05 f150 because I had to buy a new mother it has 150k miles and my odometer on the original cluster says 227k miles but I got this engine with only 150k miles and I found a cluster from a junk yard reading 150k miles but idk when I do oil change at a 10 minute oil change place if they or the inspection office including the DMV will say why is the mileages less from the last time you had inspection and they probably won't give me my plates since I'm from Texas any advice or should I just leave the original cluster that has 227k miles with a new engine that marks 150k miles

I'am after swap in my car and now my rev limiter is higher. And now if I have my old cluster in my car with KM/H and I have bought cluster with MP/H ( This version have proper rev limit ) Could I just exchange this 93C46Cb3 part from my old cluster to the new which one have MP/H ?? In that case the ODO will show my oryginal value in KM and after drive it will be adding new values in KM or MIles ?

wow, I thought I would have a hard time looking for this information - you've probably heard that the corollas and matrix from 03-08 have the issue of odometer stopping at 299,999 km/mi. I've bought a new cluster from Toyota and was surprised it was pretty cheap overall but it has 0km on it rather than the km that I gave them - was kinda hoping it would be set to 300,000km really. Anyway, I'm thinking of setting it to 300,000km and see if it would make it function as it should - after that I'll try setting it at various x99,999km and see if it works. Nice to see some guidance here, was hoping this would be a good practice but hey, makes things faster I guess...
