Rewriting the ODO Data and Transferring the Maintenance Minder™ Data to a New Gauge Control Module: Notes
NOTE:
- Obtain a new gauge control module before starting the rewriting process. Only new gauges can be rewritten.
- Rewriting is not possible on a gauge control module that will not communicate with the HDS.
- Make sure that the HDS shows the correct VIN for the vehicle you are working on.
- Once you have started this procedure, you must complete it before removing the HDS from the DLC.
- Connect a jumper battery (do not connect a battery charger) to ensure that correct battery voltage is maintained.
- Check any official Honda service website for more service information about the odometer.
- Before replacing the gauge control module, connect the HDS.
- Select GAUGES from the BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SELECT menu with the HDS.
- Select GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT (ODO Rewrite) from the ADJUSTMENT menu, and select READ OUT DATA and save ODO value and smart maintenance data into the HDS.
- Replace the gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).
- Select WRITE DATA and follow the instructions on the HDS display, and install the ODO value and smart maintenance data into the replacement gauge control module. If the data transfer fails, refer to the instructions to release the locked ODO value.
