How can I change the coding in the Instrument cluster so the speedometer needle is calibrated for USA Scale? I did a search but I wasn't able to find the information.
I would like to change my speedo to show miles as the car will be driven mostly in USA for the next while.. Currently the dash installed in the car is a Canadian dash. The speedo scale is graduated in km and does not have miles at all. I was thinking that I will just change the graduated stencil inside my cluster and be done with it. Upon closer inspection I realized that the cluster speedo will need to be coded differently in order for the needle to show correctly.
On the Canadian scale, 100km/h is almost vertical. On the USA scale, vertical is about 140 km/h. There is clearly a change needed.
The USA scale is consistent. 20ish degree movement = 20ish miles.
The Canadian scale changes half way through. 20ish degree movement of the needle on the left side is about 20 km . 20ish degree movement on the right side is 40ish km.
