Broken tachometer. Replacing cluster need programming for odometer?

[amo1dun]

Hey fam. It's been a while since last post hope all are well.

2011 Pathfinder SV 4x4 158k 

 

Tachometer isn't working properly anymore...needle flutters and mostly sits below zero on acceleration, sometimes works as it should but it's not right. CEL is on but it's an evap small leak code pretty sure it's not related. Question is if I replace the cluster with a junkyard cluster will I have to get it programmed with a dealer scan tool to reflect the correct mileage or is it plug and play? I would think the ecm would store the odometer reading but just want to make sure before I buy a used cluster. Any insight is much appreciated 

Thanks, Drew

Hello Drew, yes you will have to have the replacement odometer flashed to reflect the correct mileage for your Pathfinder. I had to have this done once on one of my previous vehicles.
