- In this Video I show you how to add a transmission temperature gauge to a non trans temp cluster. I show not just how to solder it on but also program it. This works for 2003 to 2007 classic Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban and Avalanche ( also escalade/hummer but they all already have transmission temp). For the video I used a 2005 GM Cluster. The byte is at the same address for 03/04 but its 01/00 not 42/03

By the way I used the cheap black stepper motors for the test. I have a few laying in a junk box I use whenever I am messing with the test boards I have laying around.I save the black steppers and x25s from repairs to use for freebie repairs and testing. Never for official repairs. I will probably start filming the new copy of Odometer correction soon.
Thanks for this video.
It seems somewhat ironic that two (or more) different tech's have two different opinions on these black stepper motors. If I remember correctly Jack Meyers (diagnostician in northern cal area) switched over to the black ones, after several failures with the X27.168 units, & claim he has had zero failures with them. Go figure huh?
@@robtemple3445 never had a failure with an x27 that wasn't related to poor shipping. All had physical damage. I've never seen a failed one of these Black steppers and honestly I think highly of them. I personally don't use them due to stigma. The only one I would never buy are MCR steppers. The shaft diameter is wrong on them.
Where do you get the black steppers do you have a link ?
I need some black ones every time I find some black steppers they send me white ones
Great Video ! I have a 2003 Suburban Z71 that has "0" working gauges now. I need to go in and replace ALL gauge motors and 2 or 3 lights, so I have nice project for a few days since we can't really travel right now ; ). Glad someone was able to ID '03 as already flashed for Transmission Temp, I was wanting to do that upgrade, and now I know I can...and with minimal additional effort. New subscriber now, Thanks again !
Sounds like a fun project. Let me know how it goes!
I really appreciate this. I wish your amazon links were still working. I need to rebuild my '05 gauges that are mostly dead and want to upgrade mine with the trans cooler on the stock board.
They are dead? I will replace them tomorrow.
Nice job!
Thanks. I figured this would be useful information.
I emailed you about reprogramming my 05 cluster.
And emailed you man. And wrote on Facebook. I'd love to get trans temp programmed in my cluster.
I was gonna buy the rebuild kit and was gonna get the 7 steppers.
I remember when these were new this was a popular to replace the cluster to add this. Dealers would stock them.
Well now anyone with a Soldering iron can do it!
I also wanted to ask you another question. I have a 2004 Trailblazer. I just noticed my trip button is not working. I push it in and it does not change from odometer to any other function. I'm assuming trip is the only function it has. Anyway when I turn the key to the on position it shows trip and has 88888888 all 8s then switches to odometer as it goes thru its normal functions when you first start the car, Or key on engine off. I did try holding the button for 30 seconds and still the display never changes from the odometer reading. Any ideas? At this point I have never had the cluster apart but who knows whats been done previously. The previous owner told me it was a new exchange cluster because his had some issues. Healso toldme it had about 30,000 more miles on it when he got it so I plan on turning it back.
What about manual clusters?
I understand 03-04 clusters have trans temp senders and temp gauges enabled (but not installed)
Are there differences in flashing? Does a sender have to be installed and wired?
Excellent video, I've already ordered all the parts I need to build this. Thank you very much for sharing!
Is it the same process to enable the Drivers Information Center on the cluster too, or do you have to have the information from another cluster that already had it enabled?
That is on the microcontroller not the eeprom. It can be done with a tech2 plus tis2web. I also have videos on manually programming the mcu but it can be tricky.
@@FixedUntilBroken _thanks! I just watched your most recent video and wasn't expecting a reply so fast. Hope everything is going well with your wife. Great channel too. I definitely subscribed :)
@@colin8532 thanks. Yeah youtube sends notifications like texts for new comments on the channel so it's super easy to reply with my phone. I just can't make videos while chasing the kids around.
Hey, I found your channel and have been binge watching all your gm cluster videos. Great stuff!!! I am going to try and make an arduino programmer from your tutorial. I have a weird situation; I have an '05 tahoe that I bought used, but I do not suspect the cluster is original. It shows a perpetual SRS airbag warning but when I scan for SRS codes from the computer it shows none. I have read that this could be caused from a different year cluster installed in the 05. Is the SRS alarm programmed into the cluster prom chip? I am wanting to rebuild my cluster with new steppers, led's, prndl lighting, and adding trans temp. If the cluster in mine is a different year, would I program it as an 05 or as whatever year the cluster actually is?
Do you add the transmission gauge if clusters are sent out to you? And if so at what cost
Do you sell this service? What's your website?
Will it work just to replace the Eprom with a 7 dail eprom form a other cluster ?
Have you ever seen the Instrument Cluster be the reason for the door ajar pop up?
What’s the pin for the transmission wire?
Just picked up a 2005 silverado 2500 HD with steering controls and no Trans temp gauge. Happy to share Bin if you need it. date code says 9/2004. After reading the bin I'm thinking i have a 2004 Gauge cluster. No trans temp gauge so I'm adding one. Line 00000050 - 9C 89 7D 70 05 76 00 00 A5 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 . You mentioned in this video if I had the A5 code and in this case 01 is no gauge I need to change to 00 just confirming or has this changed?
Yes change it to 00
Are you able to post a 03/04 Silverado cluster bin with steering controls?
It's not on the eeprom it's on the MCU. I've done a few videos recently covering how to program it.
Greetings, I do everything as on your video, and connect according to the scheme, but only 000000 are read (what am I doing wrong?the only difference is I have a MEGA 2560
How does one go about building the power supply for checking everything out on the cluster on your desk? I understand this is the best way to calibrate the needles before reinstalling and I’d like to do this. I’m considering going to a junkyard and clipping the harness I just need to understand the wiring behind it.
So all you need is the harness from the junk yard, the pin out (google) and an adjustable power supply you can get away with 1.5-2 amp 14v wall wart
@@FixedUntilBroken so on the pin out, am I tapping into the ignition 1 voltage and the two grounds?
do you know which pins from the ecm are the ones to set the gear selector on each gear?
It's on that same thing from lt1 swap it's different combos of ground on the wires listed to do it. I've only ever wired it to do park none of the rest matter to me if 1 works they all do
oh alright thanks ill give it another look 👍
@@pelown13 no prob. I forget what the label is on them but I think there were 4 of them
ill look around i just need at least 1 gear to be selected so that way i know it works thanks for the help!
I have an 05 suburban that had 01. After installing a stepper motor I had nothing. I reprogrammed it to the 42 and still nothing. Could I have installed the wrong stepper motor? are there different ones?
Did you figure it out
How do you program it. I have a tech2
On different clusters I read the file and after the A7 or A6 its just random numbers and not one off the numbers that you are showing . For example one that has a working trans gauge reads Line 00000050 - 5B 60 88 96 A6 03 00 00 A7 28 00 01 00 00 00 00
How do you reflash a instrument cluster to have steering wheel controls?
I have a playlist of videos on the subject. czcams.com/play/PLZ7ip3DGZF43YvP68Ia4m_j5SSC1MLrGp.html you can also use a tech2 to do it.
How much to mail you a cluster and have you do this and add the blue LED bulb behind it?
My wife sent ours to www.gmgaugerepair.com They did a complete rebuild LEDs and added the transmission gauge for about 200 bucks.
So I ordered a chip from Jeff. He sent me one that is suppose to be programmed for 2007 silverado classic . I bought the tl866 II plus and the tachosoft software. I just read the bin, miles and hrs all match up to what I've learned from watching your video's but the Trans doesn't match up to what your telling me here on your video so please help. I have A6 8A did he write it wrong? I haven't removed mine from my cluster to read it yet. I did tell him I had trans gauge.
A6 Is for led prndl . Give a test run it. It may work I was testing on A7 in this video which is for vfd prndl 2005. A5 is 03/04 The 05-07 EEprom is definitely different than the 03-04.
@@FixedUntilBroken Ya I know you were testing a 2005 which should be the same as mine. According to you A7. So what year did A6 come in? and 8A doesnt go along with anything you mentioned here for turning transmision gauge on or off.. I don't want to install it just to test. I want to do it once and be done. I'm waiting for some new chips to program from my original eeprom. There's nothing wrong with it.
@@mogyver69 a5,a6,a7 are all the byte before the trans temp data A6 should be the 06/07 but Id have to pull the data off one to make sure
I read somewhere that the eeprom to program for trans temp on 03/04 is actually the one near prndl. Is that true?
Transmission temp is on the eeprom. (The atmel chip) 03/04 is by the prndl 05, 06/07 is by the mcu.
@@FixedUntilBroken thank you! I appreciate everything you do for the community
@@FixedUntilBroken so are the 03s/04s are already preprogrammed for trans temp?
@@joshuabrown4181 some not all
@@FixedUntilBroken how could you tell which are which
How much would you charge to do this to a 2006 guage cluster?
Email me. garnerm91@gmail.com
Ok I just did!
can you show us how to change engine hours. Just bought a gauge from junk yard . needs to read 2500 hrs
I can but hours sometimes glitches on these. I will try to shoot a video this week on it.
@@FixedUntilBroken I Appreciate that. also can you show while using the TL866
Are you in Valdosta ga ?
I am at the moment. I'm moving in about a month.
Fixed Until Broken heck yeah man but shoot how much just program my cluster for a trans temp ?
What year/model. Are you bringing your own inlay or am I providing it?
Fixed Until Broken bringing my own
Fixed Until Broken I can order a faceplate but I have extra steppers and needled I could add myself I rebuild them but that’s all lol
How can you tell if your 04 is pre programed for it?
easiest way is to just put a stepper motor on and check it in the truck. You can also read the EEprom and see if it is flashed for it.
@@FixedUntilBroken thanks I did and it worked. Ordered a ch134a got it yesterday. Now I'm trying to figure it out with no knowledge of any programing.🙌 innanet 100
How can I make a trans temp bench tester myself
Check out my newer video on IPChammer. It can sweep the gauges.
Any chance I can send you my cluster to flash my eprom
Yeah I can do that. What do you programmed. Transmission temp?
@@FixedUntilBroken yeah I haven't tested it actually rear ended someone while I had my spare cluster in. But from my understanding a 2005 won't have the right flash to run the trans temp.
@@FixedUntilBroken do you have a email I can't shoot over my info.
garnerm91@gmail.com
@@FixedUntilBroken I sent you a email. I'd also be interested in just having you make me a eprom flasher
Hey man, I sent you an email about a cluster repair.
what kind of programmer are you using to send signals to the motors like when you asked for the trans temp hot
It's just a pcm in a box with some potentiometers. I've got an older video covering how to make it.
i got my hands on a pcm out of a escalade will it work for the bench testing? part number its #12582605, by chance you have the pinouts for it? or the diagram?
