New odometer
Hey there, kind of a dumb question/situation but figure I can try asking here.
So I got a new odometer off ebay... since it's obviously from a crushed car it comes with all sortas of error codes & put the car into limp mode when I plug it in. Anyone know what I need to do to clear it?... when I on this I just get videos of ppl fixing stuff on their car & car relearns...... or drive it till the computer learn my car is fine??? Cuz the moment I put the old odometer on, the car is back to normal. *never thought they store the codes in the odometer, i reset the codes with OBD tool but it still stays on in the odometer. Thanks if anyone can chime in on this. |

I'm an old geezer too. But, let's say my car has 280,000 miles on it. I want to sell it but with the high milage I wouldn't get much for it. So, why don't I just buy a new odometer off Ebay with only 45,000 miles on it and install it on my car?
I could get alot more money for it. |

I don't think that's the intent here. 10+ years of post history and I believe it's a genuine question. WNDSRFR, you are correct that it's not quite that simple as it creates the need for disclaimers and flags on your title. But OP seems to be looking for the solution to the limp problem and codes. Do you have a history of the cluster?

Since I have never try to swap a instrument cluster in any car before, isn’t this a legit question? I mean there are ppl posting about swapping theirs to 2017+ cluster too… I can’t be the only one with this question. Last edited by chaoskaze; 07-01-2022 at 04:46 PM. |

Pretty sure there was a thread on this a few years back. On phone so searching is ruff but if I recall the new cluster has to be synced to the BCM.

yep, too many shady places rolling back odometers on cars, there's all sorts of protections in place to make it a lot harder.

Does the engine crank but not fire? Push to start or key start?

I put my original back & the car kind slowly relearned that’s it’s totally fine. …. & it’s back in normal now. Looking at how to sync BCM now. *I asked some random shop that told me they can do it for 800. |

There may even be a reference on how to swap the cluster in the service manuals that Ultra has linked.
