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.
- Check the official Honda website for more information on how to write odometer information to 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 insure that correct battery voltage will be maintained.
- 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 the Maintenance Minder 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, install the ODO value and the Maintenance Minder data into the replacement gauge control module. If the data transfer fails, refer to the instructions below to release the locked ODO value.
