Kengurius Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hello, Maybe someone has legacy/outback 3.6 instrument cluster from Canada with (km,100km/l)? I'v got USDM outback and trying to convert it to metric system, all would be fine but I just can't get fuel consumption right, all the symbols are okay now (l/100km, celcius and so on) but calculation of fuel is wayy wrong. tldr: just hoping maybe someone made eeprom dump of this instrument cluster and is willing to share it with me. p.s it is from 93c86 chip on the cluster.

Infosecdad Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Not sure if it's different in the 5th Gen; but in the 4th Gen, the fuel calculation "formula" is in the ECU, I've been adjusting mine to account for different sized injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengurius Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 That would be super strange since it is known that people make this just from dashboard reflash. I would guess maybe dashboard see injector "open-time" rather than final value. p.s I was able to change it from MPG to kilometers per liter (I guess some countries use this type of calculation) however unable to do l / 100km yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What cluster do you refer to? monochrome (old) or color (facelift)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengurius Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 It is for outback, however legacy had same dashboard 2010-2013/4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengurius Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 P.s this dash is from 2.5 engine, I need 3.6 with kmh/ - l/100km These are super rare in Europe, this is why I thought maybe it is more common in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunzo Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 How did you change from MPG to L settings? Changes cluster dump? Where did you take KM info from? Do you have your original dump file and changed one? And how inaccurate are the readings now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, yes I have modified original dashboard dump, it is combination of several dashboards and other information I was able to find online. Looks like I was mistaken, it shows bad consumption l/100km because it is "counting" miles, not kilometers (trip ODO). Hopefully I will manage to change this without screwing all other things, it is quite hard to do it on "trial by error" method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunzo Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 What is the desired car region for you? Canada or Europe? I will refer to your original dump first line: 6A 2B FF AA FF AB 96 0F 26 10 FF FF FF FF 07 For Canadian region: 6A 3B FF AA FF AB 96 09 30 10 FF FF FF FF 07 For European region: 6A 4B FF AA FF AB 96 09 40 10 FF FF FF FF 07 Rest lines make no sense AFAIK. Please change and report. Bytes for changes highlighted in bold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengurius Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Thanks Brunzo, I'll let you know as soon as i'll try. Lower lines was changed because speedometer was reading wrong speed, going 60km/h would register ~90km/h on speedometer I'll test it, maybe I have messed other values and got that behavior.

Kengurius Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 In that time, would you mind sharing how you know what belongs where, do you cross-check with some EU dash dump ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunzo Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Sorry I don't have any dumps to share. Please check if it worked at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengurius Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Yup, all works fine, your first line + my other mods below to correct speed. all good now thank you ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunzo Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Yup, all works fine, your first line + my other mods below to correct speed. all good now thank you ! Very good. I think your "other mods below" are useless, as pointer uses one movement algorithm no matter of Miles or Kilometers, as US speedometer dial has both on it (Miles big digits, kilometers - small digits) and these are shown as one next to the other. I think you could just accidentally use a piece of JDM cluster dump with maximum 180km/h on the dial which made your pointer move faster than it should. So IMHO - you shouldn't be doing this change at all, as your speedometer had to show the speed correctly without any dump changes. The only reason for speed pointer algorithm change (IMHO) is when you use cluster from a different car with different tire size, as for example in my case: it was around 10km/h difference as my new facelift cluster is from Outback but i have legacy - tire size difference caused this gap and I had to adjust the pointer to move a little slower as it should +3km/h to GPS measurements. Anyway - all works for you fine now. Very good. You are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helensimm Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 How to dismantle the dashboard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefangrim Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Ouch... it is unlikely that anyone can find Canadian devices now because now everything is breaking down and being replaced by a Chinese replica. Most torpedo repairs are preceded by the partial or complete dismantling of the dashboard. But first, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the technical documentation of the car to understand where the fasteners are, etc. After following the technical documentation, the torpedo is removed. This, as a rule, involves unscrewing the fasteners, snapping the latches, removing the steering wheel from the lining casing. To completely dismantle the panel, two hands will not be enough. You need to have at least a clamp https://www.sandfieldengineering.com/toggle-clamps / or another person...
