No, it's an EEPROM chip, meaning that the code is hard-coded into the chip. When they flash it with a Tech2 they're actually re-writing the coding on the EEPROM.

Ok, do you know where on the tech II do you get into these features? I have access to a tech II or MDI, but I don't know where to go or what exactly to do to reprogram the cluster...

Hate to bring this thread up again, but like asked above, does anyone know the exact way to use the tech 2 to program the cluster for the trans temp? I have everything installed and access to a tech 2, but don't know where to get started. Thanks
