Problem after replacing the instrument cluster
Because my instrument cluster (IC) has some defective pixels I replaced it with an used one.
The procedure was painless, just pull out the instrument cluster (IC) and reconnect 2 connectors. The old IC has no CEL or warnings. However when I start the engine the new IC shows 5 errors with CEL: Engine Oil Level Engine Fan Break Lining wear ABS - Anti-lock Brake System ETS: el. Traction Support I pulled the OBD II Codes and again found No Codes as before the replacement. Those errors could have been there when the IC was removed from the donor car. I thought the IC was merely a display device except for the odometer but apparently it has a memory for other things too. My questions: 1- will the warnings disappear after driving a while with the new instrument cluster adapting to the board computer? 2- If not how can I erase/reset the warnings on the new IC. As I tried erasing OBD II codes does not help. Thanks for your inputs!
