Replace Alphard AX Odometer to AS type for PFL model only.
May be can be applicable to NFL too but i dun have any NFL odometer as "tikus putih" for experiment..hehe
1. Dis-assemble odometer from dashboard.
AX Odometer - mileage 47012km (my actual mileage)
AS Odometer, functional check, mileage - 149,503km (erk!!!, so 'kuat jalan')
I don't want to replace just like that because the mileage is not correct anymore and can make me confuse for a maintenance schedule & also make my car look alike 'kuat jalan'.
2. Take out the transparent cover, very easy one since there is no screw/nut at all. Free hand tool.
This is AS odometer, the process is same.
3. Dis-assemble the back cover, there are 4 screw.
4. The most difficult is to dismantle the needles from electronic board. The needles are mounted so tight. Used something to pull the needles from bottom. I use the universal bracket, place it under the needles, and pull it up gently but hard until able manually pull it by hand.
The needles structure.
5. Dis-assemble front panel board. Free hand tool. Just un-clip.
CAUTION!!
Make sure to cover the front odometer board avoiding it from being scratch or crack!!
After the needles dis-assemble
5. Dis-assemble front panel board. Free hand tool. Just un-clip.
6. Dis-assemble the electronic board. Just un-clip. Pull it up gently. Make sure the LCD pins are not broken.
After dis-assemble (LCD Display Pins)
After re-installation...
Original electronic board (real mileage) with AS odometer (blue lining) + AX housing front panel (black & chrome ring). AS - grey & metal gun ring...
