Gauge Control Module - Retrieve

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 data link connector (DLC).
Connect a jumper battery (do not connect a battery charger) to ensure that correct battery voltage will be maintained.

1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC).

2. Select GAUGES from the BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SELECT menu with the HDS.

3. Select GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT (ODO Rewrite) from the ADJUSTMENT menu, and follow the instructions on the display to retrieve the ODO value.
