1999 Gs 300 Odometer Issues


Recommended Posts

Mechanic says I need to replace my odometer. My car is at 125k miles right now and the cluster he has is around 200k. I heard that the ECU remembers the actual mileage on the car. Is there a way that I can get the ECU to display the correct miles with the new cluster in?

I know that Lexus dealers can have the odometer on a replacement new instrument cluster "flashed" with the correct mileage when ordering it but it was not something they could do in-house. I suggest that you document the current mileage and just go with the replacement cluster with the higher mileage. There is a legally required odometer replacement sticker that should be placed on the door jam but that is more often done when the new odometer is set to zero miles. I suppose you could have the mechanic install one of these stickers to document the odometer reading at the time it was replaced. Here is an example of one of those stickers: http://www.paadps.com/odometerrepairlabel.aspx
