You need the engineering mode enabled in order to run the odometer correction routine, but i've tried it on a couple of cars and it hasn't worked.

I'm lead to believe that the odometer data is stored on a separate chip in the instrument cluster, and you can simply swap that chip over from your old cluster to the new replacement.

How can you set IDS to an engineering mode? Thanks in advance for your answer! I can't find the mode.
