Rewriting the ODO Data and Transferring the Maintenance Minder Data to a New Gauge Control Module: Notes
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.
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 battery jumper box (not a battery charger) to ensure that correct battery voltage will be 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 follow the instructions on the display to retrieve the ODO value and the Maintenance Minder Information.
- Replace the gauge control module, (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT )
- Follow the instructions on the display to write the new ODO value and Maintenance Minder Data to the new gauge control module. If the data transfer fails, refer to the instructions below to release the locked ODO value.
