Gauge Control Module Removal and Installation: Removal

NOTE:  Before replacing the gauge control module, retrieve the ODO data from the gauge control module with the HDS.

    NOTE: 
    • Obtain a new gauge control module before starting the rewriting process. Only new gauges can be rewritten.
    • Do not operate anything electrical (headlights, audio system, A/C, power window, door locks etc.) during the process.
    • 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 will be maintained.
