Regarding the mileage you can try this it worked for me, if you buy a new cluster, remove the back and take off the first circuit board behind the cover when you open it up, then do the same with your original cluster circuit board and swap them over, that has all the info and data of your car stored on it so everything should transfer over

Mike how do you synchronize the mileage of the car to you cluster?
@MonkeyWrenchMike3 жыл бұрын
That’s a dealer thing. Some models store the mileage in the ECU and a new instrument cluster will adapt, but in other models the dealer has to do it thru the star system.

I've seen videos saying to disconnect the battery 1 hour before doing this swap because you have to let all the modules go to sleep! It's possible that's why he had issues after installing the new one.

basshead 808 no it takes costly programming to fix that and I left it alone I don’t recommend you use anything but original if you plan on selling the car in the future but even if the cluster is from the same model won’t read the cars original mileage you have to check with your state and local laws regarding a swap

Hi Mike. Did you managed to get the mileage correction done. I have the same issue, so what I did is remove the Eepron chip from the cluster (24c128) changed the mileage and the VIN number. I then wrote the new file back to the chip. I just did that now, so I will know tomorrow morning if all works.

@yiannakosautomotivekeys2380 Жыл бұрын
@@stefaniecedeno Yes, it all worked fine! In Mikes case, because the new instrument cluster has a lower mileage, all he had to do is to sync the instrument cluster to the EIS (Electronic Ignition Switch). The mileage is written in two places. The Instrument Cluster and the EIS. When you swap one of the two, the one with the highest mileage (in this case the EIS) wins so the other takes the highest mileage.

Mine is lower thant the replacement cluster, idk what to do in that case. Also when i installed the new cluster all the lights turn on and doesn’t turn off, doesn’t work the speed. Idk if is the new cluster damaged or maybe I didn’t do something :(. Ps : sorry for my english.

You will need Star Diagnostics to correctly code all the right options and odometer into the replacement cluster. Fortunately as the donor cluster has a lower mileage than the car, you won’t need to use “developer mode” in order to program it correctly.
