TACH-cluster replacement-resetting ODO?

[Lewis]

scare as hens teeth from what i've seen- many yards THINK they have it until they double check

odd thing is there are scads of the ones with just speedos

lots of youngsters totalling their cars from the photos the yards run

.....and it'll be a cold day in hell when i'll pay 420 for a new cluster

to be precise it'd be a cold evening(s) in the guest room if my wife discovered i paid 420 for the cluster!

man you guys are getting ripped off! But then again im so used to ordering stuff through my company and our account with our local dealer really helps a lot. either way they told me they could reprogram the mileage for a programming fee and thats all. i just dont have the spare cash for a programming fee just yet. but ive clocked 2500 miles on this new cluster with no issues.

I wonder why programming can't be accomplished in Techstream?

[CTScott]

Goku87, so far I don't have any solid info. I am looking into purchasing a Chinese clone of the techstream VIM for $1500. I believe, based on Mike's dealer's response, that it can be done using techstream.

jebus that is a lot of $$$

[CTScott]

It is indeed, but it is a whole lot less than $7,500 for the real Toyota one. My interest in it is to "sniff" its communication when doing various things to the ECM or other ECU's. This would allow me to build inexpensive modules to allow others to do those same tasks. It also has the ability to flash the ECM. Sniffing that process is the key to cracking the ECM.

does anyone have a 08 yaris lb automatic trans ecu with 35000 miles or less on the car when it was pulled im looking for one to buy ?

[Sodium Duck]

It's also possible they didn't install it correctly, or one of the 50 or so pins were bent, etc. that's a pretty fragile piece. I think that idea makes a lot of sense though.

[DamianShadowPaw]

I just want a clear answer... will a cluster with a Tach work in a Yaris that did not come with a Tach >.> millage doesn't really concern me.

[ezhacker1]

yes it will, at a meet last week, we had a 09 S automatic cluster swapped into a pre 09 no tach (manual), worked, we dont know about ODO tho.

[goku87]

looking back on this i guess i'm glad i never got the new cluster lol.

83800-52F30 is Canada/Mexico 06-07 for non-ABS, so it will work on yours and will be in KM.

Many thanks to ebay seller LKQ

du2efs... If you use a flash light on the cluster, can you see the outline of the "Cruise" control logo on the cluster??.. It should be near the top right side of the speedo..

the cluster p/n 83800-52F30 I got has no cruise control led or indicator. I have checked the PCB, no resistor and smt led. :(

Before you swapped the ECU was it just the Tach dial and pointer not illuminating, or both the Speedo and Tach dials/pointers?

after the swap, the gauge backlight, pointers(tach+speedo) is not working..Rest of the functions is working.

Below my observation:

My wiring harness is not the same. The canadian cluster has the illumination control and GCC/EU model don't have. To fix this, You have to swap/jumper or rig the illumination pinout of the new cluster.

I put it back my original cluster as I am annoyed without the illumination/backlight. Everything works fine. From here, I noticed also that they have different programming cluster daughter board. Tried to swap their daughter boards also but the results is more bad(none of the pointers is working).
