odometer stopped working 04 LE

[minycat]

my odometer stopped working in my 04 le, but the speedometer still works. i have read some thread that they suposively stop working at 299k. Last i remember my had 160k on it. I dont want to speed a lot of money on dianogstics. I am thinking of buying a used cluster from a salvage yard. i have heard on some cars the mileage is stored in the ECM does anyone know if thats the case for our corolla or will i get what ever mileage is on the cluster that i put in. your thoughts chime in anyone anytime.

thanks

They are known to stop counting at 299,999 Kms (186,410.7 miles), not sure about 299,999 miles... Yours just went blank?? Do your trip meters still work?
Mileage is stored in the odometer unit only.

Nicole Grant of Toyota Canada public relations:

"Toyota has become aware that on 2003-2008 model-year Corolla and Matrix vehicles, odometer mileage is recorded accurately only up to 299,999 km.

A new odometer must then be installed.

Our dealerships record mileage and service dates when an odometer is replaced. A copy of these records is placed in the owner's manual, along with a sticker on the odometer indicating that it was replaced.

Should a used-car buyer have any questions concerning the odometer reading, they may contact Toyota Canada or inquire at the motor vehicle office in the province where the vehicle was originally sold."
