✅ How I Fixed ODOMETER ERROR message in Cadillac Escalade Instrument Cluster

[@BrucePierson]

That was really interesting how you fixed that odometer error with just some re-programming, without even needing to replace anything,. You certainly have a good knowledge of these clusters and how to fix them. This one had a much different error to the last one that you fixed, so just knowing which chip is faulty is half the battle. You must have a lot of experience with this sort of repair, not to mention having the right gear and knowing how to use it. Not many people would know how to do this sort of repair.

[@fix206]

I've been fixing these clusters for the past few years, and got to know them quite well. There are still things I don't know, but for most part I got them figured out 😎

WOW did not know that could even be done. I wouldn't know how to use your toys but I think it would be fun learning but on stuff for me only that way when I screw it up it's mine. Thanks like the vids.

[@fix206]

It looks intimidating at a first glance, but after doing it once or twice you'll get it real quick, not much to it at all !

[@dantomlinson4407]

That is really impressive!! I wish I could rewrite the headlight on dinger and seatbelt warning buzzer.

[@fix206]

I believe those settings are stored within the BCM (body control module)

Excellent brother as always 😎✌

Thanks man !!!

[@stevejanka361]

Good afternoon, damn man that is unbelievable. Where did you aquire this mastery of the electronics wizardry? What kind of flux was that you used on the chip connections. Thanks for the informative video.

[@fix206]

There Is really not that much to it, I'd say my skill level is just a couple of notches above basic, so I am far from being an "electronics wizard". LOL I'm self taught, I do wish I've had a formal education on this, so I could bring even more to the table. The flux that I'm using is an Amtech NC-559 ASM

[@jasonsmith7864]

So will the chip continue to record and store odometer readings even while displaying error until it can be reprogrammed? My father has an odometer error and until I am able to get it fixed I would be curious if it will continue to store mileage?

[@vdoggthahogg4618]

I’m so glad I understand this shit

[@fix206]

That's cool man.. Most folks don't understand it, I feel like just scratched the surface myself

[@sc8496]

Hi, I have been following your channel for quite some time and I believe that you are really gifted with these skills ..I try to fix things myself as a diy-er and it's amazing to see someone else also carrying similar interests, you inspire me as well through your videos. I love the content, keep up the great work ! Question: I wanna reset my airbag crash data which is saved in the eeprom chip. Which inexpensive eeprom programmer would you recommend to read such chips?

[@fix206]

Thanks for kind words bro!!! As far as the airbag crash data reset goes, I haven't personally done it before but know for sure that the programmer that I use can be used for that... it's a GQ-4x4 programmer and they generally run right around $100, but there are a lot of cheaper options out there that work just fine. I'd for sure recommend the one I got if you're going to be using this programmer a lot, because I think it's of better quality then most other cheaper ones. But if programming for you will be once in a blue moon then It wouldn't really matter if you go with cheaper ones. Cheers !!!

[@sc8496]

​@@fix206 i was using a carprog clone and it is POS, I want something more reliable that would allow me to reprogram these chips with virgin data, does the software allow you to program most eeprom 8 pin chips?

[@fix206]

@@sc8496 I think it does, there are a bunch of different 8 leg chip presets within the softrware, but to be on the safe side if I were you I'd research this type of a programmer, check out some youtube vids on them...

[@cmitchell17a1]

Have you ever looked into the defect on these clusters where all of the sudden the hour meter will reset? It's a known issue with these and with the newer (07-13 GMT-900s) clusters as well. It seems like it's probably a similar problem and the chip recording it gets corrupted and doesn't know what to do so it resets, not sure if you could ever recover the original hours though. On these 03+ GMT-800s they were a mix of mostly class 2 communications, and they will do some weird things sometimes, so I wonder if that contributed to the chip getting corrupt. It seems like OEMs would have to make more robust odometer systems since I think there is some laws to prevent tampering and resetting the odometer, but I guess they still have issues. The hours I don't think is a requirement, so they don't care about the reliability of that part.

[@mattleggett5609]

This is very interesting, you've definitely got yourself a new subscriber. You have great content from what I can tell so far and only watched 2 videos so please keep em coming cause they're pretty damn informative fs. So that said my mom has an 06 malibu that is reading error and will not crank or start ive kinda been thinking maybe it's a BCM but idk how to test that and when it's electrical issues I'm pretty lost so if you can please give any advice it be greatly appreciated cause it's been stuck in my garage now for an year now so been very stressed unfortunately

[@fix206]

I would just be guessing without having the car in front of me so I can run some tests. It could be many different things causing the no start. Fuel pump, fuel pump relay, ECM, crank position sensor, cam position sensor, mass airflow sensor, some stupid blown fuse ... These are just a few things of the top of my head that I would look first...

[@GaryKlar-fp5hm]

Just watched your video. I have an older 05 Silverado that recently developed the same issue. Do you do repairs for people if they send you the cluster or do you do this for entertainment/education purposes only?

[@fix206]

I do offer cluster repair services. If you are local, you can drive out to my place, or you can always ship the cluster to me and I normally would ship it back the following day once all of the repairs have been performed.

I have the same problem with a 2008 Escalade ESV. Unfortunately I do not have the skills to do the reprogramming as you do. Is there any other solution?

[@fix206]

Unfortunatelly reprogramming is the only way... I suppose if you have a way to to desolder a chip off the board and solder a new one in it's place I could program a chip and send it to you

[@boclark9796]

How do you know what part is bad? this is the old man again because I've had problems with clusters before. Also I bought quite a few cars .. had bad clusters .. I bought a Lexus one time wouldn't light up! After Lexus I stayed away from odometer.. I wished I would have knew this !

Pretty much when it comes to electronics, the only way to figure out what's wrong is to start testing... Sadly there is no one fix for every problem :(

[@fix206]

There is definitely a learning curve to most things including programming a cluster, anyone can learn how to do it, but if it something you'll do once or twice then it's just not cost effective. By the time you buy all the hardware and learn how to to use software, you'd be better off just having someone else do it... email me your phone number at [e-mail] and I'll give you a call

[@samsen3965]

Wow. That is magically great. I wished I had your expertise. btw are you able to rectify my caddy Escalade 2008 cluster that has 4 needle blinking blue light errors and no other display? Or alternatively, if I buy a working used cluster, can you program my original milage into the donor cluster? Thanks, I tried to replace it with one cluster that I bought from eBay and it still had the same exact blinking error... Guess that's why it was sold cheap. Now additionally my OBD II scanner shower an error called U0109 that did not exist before and this can be erased but immediately returns... I believe this code means: "FAULT CODE U0109 LOST COMMUNICATION WITH FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE" I'm puzzled as I did nothing with the fuel pump though I moved some fuses to make sure they are fine and put them back.

I'm not too familiar with 2007 and up Escalade clusters... I haven't worked on them in the past and I don't have a schematic for them

hi,i would like to ask you if there is a way to change the language on the odometer on a JDM 2016 TOYOTA SIENTA , from Japanese to English.

[@fix206]

There is Probably a way, the cluster would need to be reprogrammed with a similar file from from another cluster that would be in English. I've done the same thing in the past with Canadian clusters that I converted to US based ones. Because Canadian clusters display the mileage in kilometers and by reprogramming I wound switch them to miles.
