How to release locked odometer mileage to the original gauge control module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If, after you attempt to transfer mileage to a new gauge assembly, the odometer display has dashes (- - -), is garbled, or shows an incorrect value, the original gauge control module can be unlocked and restored to its original state so that it can be used again for additional attempts to transfer the milage:

Confirm that you have the latest HDS version of software.
Make sure that the HDS shows the correct VIN for the vehicle you are working on.
With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), reconnect the original gauge control module.
Completely re-boot the HDS.
Clear any stored DTCs.
Navigate to BODY ELECTRIC/GAUGES/ADJUSTMENT/INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACEMENT.
Select 3. RELEASING LOCKED ODO VALUE.
Follow the prompts and the odometer mileage will be restored.
Start over and make sure the screen prompts are followed.
