View Full Version : instrument cluster ???? dinkjs 05-12-2004, 02:41 PM yea it should stay the same....no problem Got_Air 05-12-2004, 02:56 PM Is the milage stored in the Ecu? dinkjs 05-12-2004, 03:22 PM Is the milage stored in the Ecu? Now that I dont know....I think it should be for legal reasons...so people dont go turning there ODO back Got_Air 05-12-2004, 03:32 PM I wonder how I can find out, I want to get rid of the cluster and flush all the individual instruments, digitaly thats how I fired my cluster accidently. scionxcore 05-12-2004, 11:20 PM its more than likely stored in the ecu, you cant reset your mileage by disconnecting your guage cluster. people put aftermarket ones in. XBman 05-13-2004, 04:21 AM yeah i am pretty sure it is stored in the ECU showpaojoe 05-13-2004, 04:31 AM ya, but you CAN disconnect the odo and not have the miles raise up...hint hint http://www.scionlife.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif 05-13-2004, 04:52 AM I fried my display with a VMM.. whats a vmm?? Got_Air 05-13-2004, 12:33 PM Volt Multi Meter......... lol I wasnt looking to "cheat" the milage in any way. I wanted to shave off the cluster and build a HUD unit, I think that would be F'ing wierd but neat at the same time. Im already working on a mold of the upper portion of the dash. WhitexB 05-20-2004, 01:24 AM I doubt mileage is stored in the ECU. Should your ecu fail. and you buy new one, your odometer will reset to zero. I doubt that would fly. rx191 05-31-2004, 07:29 AM the milage is in the gauge cluster and not in the ECU when you order a new one from toyota they have to program the milage the same i you buy an aftermarket cluster. IT IS ILLEGAL to tamper with the cluster. some car are tracked from toyota and it will tell the mwhat the vehicles accutal milage is and if is deferent than what the OD says you will be in deep sh*t. <----edited for bad language. Becareful, the moderators are watching! bBted 05-31-2004, 07:31 AM it should store in the gauge cluster itself.... IceBox 05-31-2004, 07:49 AM NO IT WILL NOT!!!! I WAS SHOCKED TOOO!....ya see...a while back, i was dumb enough to try to drill through the sides of my cluster to try to paint the lights.....i drilled all the way into it and i neededto order a new cluster from the dealer.... It starts at 0 again!!!!!I was at around 6,000 miles at the time, and supposedly im supposed to call the dmv to notify them of this, but many told me that 6,000 miles aint woth it, so i didnt.. GLAD I CLEARED THAT bBted 05-31-2004, 08:46 AM NO IT WILL NOT!!!!

GLAD I CLEARED THAT he guys, i used to work at a toyota dealer as a tech, and the mileage is stored i the gauge cluster, it is accesible with the computer at the dealer, that is how they program the new miles in. BRABUS_E430 07-20-2004, 04:31 AM can anyone tell me where the fuse for the cluster is? BRABUS_E430 07-23-2004, 09:11 AM TTT does anyone know? |
