2001 Sonata Speedometer

Discussion in 'Hyundai Sonata' started by CustomerService, Oct 19, 2004.

  1. I know I posted this question a while back but I was just wondering if
    anyone has any new insight.

    I have to replace the speedometer assembly and I need to get a new odometer
    as well. I would like to do the repair myself as my car is out of warranty
    (in Canada it's only 3 years).

    Anyone have any clue how to remove the assembly, reinstall it and click the
    new odometer to it's current reading?

    BTW it is the mechanical type odometer.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    D

    ===================
    D,

    The removal of the speedometer assembly is simple. There are three phillips
    screws in the underside of the black trim piece in front of the plastic face
    of the assembly. Unscrew those screws and gently pull the trim piece from
    the top, working it out of the bottom push-in tabs. After the trim is
    removed you will see four phillips screws around the perimeter of the
    assembly. Remove these (use a magnetic screwdriver so you don't drop one
    into the innards of the dash) and move the steering column to the bottom of
    its adjustment range. Pull the assembly forward to disengage it, and then
    angle the assembly out of the right side of the opening, tilting it as
    needed to clear. There are no wiring terminals, etc. -- the assembly mates
    to plugs fixed to the back of the opening.

    As to resetting the odometer, that can't be done without leaving evidence of
    tampering and it is illegal in the U.S. I don't know what Canada's laws are
    on this.

    Good luck,
    Harry
