MT Gear Indicator Issue - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

civicdrivr · 05-18-2012, 09:01 PM

I was reading through the owners manual (no really, I was

) and I saw the steps to turn on the gear indicator for those with a manual transmission.

According to the book, while the key is turned to ACC, you press ODO until you see g-off.

I dont have that menu. I get ODO, Trip A, and Trip B. No gear indicator settings.

Has anyone been able to successfully set that up?

I don't have a MT, but I did read this earlier. Did you have the key in the ACC or LOCK position? Page 152 says it only shows in those positions.

Yep, had it in ACC.

Make sure it is in ACC (first click) and not ON (second click)

Hmm, don't know then. You can't turn it off on the AT, or I'd give it a try to see what happens. Might just try "off" if you haven't. The OD button does work in the OFF position.

Ill give that a try in a bit.

I guess while we're on the subject of the instrument cluster, is there any way to get the tach to do a fast sweep, like in this video:

Mine goes up to where I set the rev warning, pauses, then goes back down.

I'm sure there's a way, but I doubt it's just a setting.

IIRC it was a selling/debating point for a lot of the BRZ guys...

usually with these things, you don't keep pressing the ODO button repeatedly, they mean for you to press and hold the button down until you see the new setting pop up. but i don't have the car or manual to really know lol

gah sudden posts, now i see the manual above.

I thought gauge s weep was only on the BRZ, not FRS ???

Just went out to mine. What they mean is for you to push the button until the g-off display shows. You then hold the button in until it changes. Same with the REV light.

But it should come up just by pushing the button through 4 or less cycles, then is when you hold it down.

Try this if you didn't get it to work yet. Put the key in the ignition and turn it to the first on position, then push the ODO/TRIP until it displays G-OFF, then press and hold the button and it will change to G-ON.
That should do it

Its says how to do it in step 4 of this procedure.

civicdrivr · 05-19-2012, 03:27 PM

Still haven't had a chance to try out what was noted above. Once I do, Ill let you know if it works or not.

I also didnt see the 5 step process in the FR-S owners manual, we may not have the BRZs sweep function

uneekvisions · 05-20-2012, 11:13 AM

I really want a FR-S, but the little things are making me reconsider the BRZ :|
