Needle Calibration - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys,

I need to take off my needles for a little project I got in mind. What's the best way to callibrate them?
I just found some thread on MR2 forum, but that doesn't help much, since I need camry info.

Any ideas?

Thanks

An car wiring specialist showed me to take out the cluster while the car is on, pull off the needles and try to get it closets to 0. WHen you turn on the car, the little motors that make the needle move move a little. When I first did it, the speedo needle jumped to 40 mpg and the rpms were really off. I just kept trying, and got as close as possible. There is probably a better way.

You need to plug the cluster back in to calibrate.
