Hey guys,

I have a 2002 civic LX and my cluster for the longest time has been retarded. It shows 888888 in the mileage, the guages sometimes don't work, flickers the lights etc... I did buy a used cluster off Ebay and tried it and it worked perfectly every time so I know it is definately the cluster and not something else.

Tonight off a whim we decided to wiggle the connector and make it work and drive a few miles (6 round trip) and see if it was recording miles while in that 888888 mode. To our surprise it wasn't recording any miles (been like this for a while now). So now we know the cluster needs to be replaced........and probably by Honda so I can get a sticker that shows the real mileage but there's my problem. Is there a way that Honda can tap into the ECU and get the correct mileage or whatever the cluster says it what goes? I'd like to make this legal and legit. I know I could just use the used one that I bought OR get a new one off a Honda part's site but for resale value if/when I sell it I'd like it to be right.

Just curious if Honda can get the real mileage out of the ECU/ECM and go from there.

Thanks for the help in advance,
Chris
