brentlysubaru Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Is there a way to check the mileage on the gauge cluster out of the vehicle? The car is 2002 legacy outback. Its at the local u pull and I'm interested in the engine in the car because the car was in such good shape aside from the major accident. I grabbed the gauge cluster figuring there's a way to check it. I got part of the dash wiring also. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I always check the car for Oil service sticker or paperwork. I've powered them up with a 9v battery but it been so long ago I couldn't tell you what connector pins you need to go to. Do you have the same car? Could swap the dash into your car. Other than that you will need the factory wiring manual to figure out + and - circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Yes. Power it up with a 12v source using the pins specified for switched power and ground in the factory service manual schematic. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentlysubaru Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Ya I looked through the glove box and there was no paperwork. The only interesting thing I found was a GPS tracker hidden behind the gauge cluster. I think I have the wiring schematic, I wasn't sure if it was that easy. I thought maybe it was somehow tied into the ecu. I had a Ford about the same year was like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Mileage is not stored in the ECU. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentlysubaru Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 That's good. I'll try to figure out the wiring tonight. I believe I have a 03 or 04 legacy wiring schematic. Thanks GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentlysubaru Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 That was a lot easier than I thought. The 9v battery worked great to power it up. Thanks imdew. The odometer said 114k not too bad for a 02 H6. Now comes the fun part of pulling the engine in the junkyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
