Where is the odometer value stored on a Toyota Solara?
It great for cluster swaps, as in my case I swapped a Lexus ES300 cluster into my Toyota Solara. Many cars store digital odometer values on the instrument cluster itself. It’s stored on a little chip on the speedometer circuit board; it’s called an EEPROM chip, usually of the 93C46, 93C56 or 93C66 variety.
How do you reprogram the odometer on a Toyota?
Replace the speedometer board into the gauge housing and screw in the 5 screws at the back of the cluster. Replace the black bezel and wipe it from all finger-prints. Replace the clear cover. Reinstall the gauge cluster into the vehicle. Turn on the vehicle and check to make sure all the gauges work.
Can you change the odometer reading on a Camry?
I’ve worked with Camry, Solara and ES300 clusters which are all interchangeable, but the procedure should be the same for many, many cars that use a similar chip setup, with only the programming differing. It’s perfectly okay to change your odometer reading by yourself.
Where are the odometer readings stored on a Camry ES300?
The Camry/ ES300/ Corolla of this vintage all use the 9346. Click the top left hand icon to read data from the device. You’ll be presented with a dump of what’s in the EEPROM chip. The odometer readings are stored in lines 00 and 10 for these cars. As indicated below, it’s coded in hexadecimal, in a cluster of four digits, repeated three times.
Is it possible to change the odometer display?
The odometer display can be just as easily changed by swapping clusters to one of a lower mileage. 3. This procedure requires disassembly of the cluster, and de-soldering of SMD components. Use care and caution when dealing with delicate components, and practice first on a spare cluster.
How to reprogram an odometer from a microwire?
First thing, head over to the setup menu under options; Make sure its set to read from the serial port, COM1, and SI Prog I/O. You can then Probe the port to make sure it detects your serial programmer. Next head over to the device menu and select Microwire 93C56, which is compatible with the L56 EEPROM chip.
