neon14 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Does anybody know if the odometer reading on a 95 caprice with a digital instrument cluster will change if I put a new cluster in? Is the odometer reading stored in the cars computer or in the cluster? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleaner Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 On a chevrolet it is most likely stored in the cluster and not the PCM. However Im not sure on a caprice but on a truck it is in the cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwmbishop Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 95 is OBD, it's in the EPROM. Although odometer is not a legislated OBD parameter (as far as I know), it is available on many vehicles, though usually only by request (i.e. it's not broadcast). It must be requested by a module such as the instrument cluster, and this request can be made (and response received) through many OBD reader devices. A low-cost device that would suffice is the ELM327 (available on mp3car.com, and elsewhere such as www.scantool.com). How to get odometer from your vehicle (and whether it even provides it) depends on the vehicle model and model year. When installing a NEW cluster there is almost always a way to set the existing OD from the data in EPROM. usually a one time thing so read the instructions carefully before you even reconnect the battery - once you cycle back off with IGN - it's done!
