Hypertech's In-Line Speedometer Calibrator Module Install

Hey Guys!! Subaru The Tacoma Here doing another install write up.

In celebration of getting some new rims and tires (285/75/17) I am installing an In-line calibrator.

For starters this was a super easy 10 step install. Took me about 10 maybe 15 minutes because I stopped to snap some pictures.

(Disclaimer: This write up does NOT go over how to program the calibrator. That process is also super easy with straightforward instructions from the manufacturer)


STEP 1: Program your control box. Don't forget to do the firmware update as well!

STEP 2: Remove the dash trim on both sides. Start with the passenger side around the stereo just gently pulling and it should pop right off. Then on to the driver side. I started closest to the door again just gently pulling. Then I worked my way around the instrument cluster.

STEP 3: Remove the 4 screws


STEP 4: Gently pull the instrument cluster forward. once it is free look behind it from the passenger side and you will find the plug you need to remove to put the inline calibrator.




STEP 5: Remove the plug from the back of the cluster and put the calibrator in line. Then tuck the cables down the hole ( red square)


STEP 6: Just to get it out of the way shove the control box for the calibrator up out of the way so when you push the instrument cluster back in it won't bind up.



STEP 7: Being very careful to not hurt any of the cables slowly and gently push back the instrument cluster and re mount it.

STEP 8: At this point and time take a second to turn the truck on and check for errors and to make sure everything still works. Hurray if it did! if not back to step 1.

STEP 9: Take that little control box out of hiding and zip tie it to the post of the instrument cluster for easy access for firmware or tire size updates also this will stop it from clanking around back there.



STEP 10: Put your truck back together. Enjoy!!!
