GD (02-07) Impreza Cluster Swaps

Connector and Pin out info
The clusters have 3 green connectors at the top. They are referred to as A, B and C in the OE wiring diagrams. So when we talk about pin C9 where talking about pin 9 in connector C.

 

The green 30 pin connector in the center is always labeled B. On the non-full sweep clusters the 14/16 pin one on the left is C and the 10 pin (smallest) one on the right is A, But on the full sweep cluster the A and C labels are flipped, so the 14/16 pin one on the left is A and the 10 pin (smallest) one on the right is C.

30 pin B connector pin numbering. Similar for the other two connectors.

 

Outside Ambient Temp (OAT) Display

If your car came stock without an OAT display you will need our OAT harness and the OE sensor from the dealer to get it working on your new cluster. Also if you do have the OAT Sensor and don’t have auto climate control you’ll need a special version of our OAT harness (this should only be on OBS and TR WRXs). Pins B8, B11 and B12 are for the OAT functions.

Cluster Beeps Continually

Remove pin A9/C9 (pin 9 on the 10 pin connector) to stop this. Should only happen on full sweep clusters installed in 02-04 cars.

ABS Light Issues

US 05+ STi clusters have the ABS light wired reverse. So, if you install one into a pre 05  the ABS light will be on all of the time. (we have a reverser circuit harness that can fix this)

Parking Brake Light Indicator Issues

US 05-07 STi and V9 JDM clusters have an extra connection to the ABS Control Module that will cause the parking brake light indicator to stay on if you install one into a 02-05 WRX or 04/v8 STi. To fix this you need to Ground pin A1/C1 if you have the 14 pin connector or pin A2/C2 if you have the 16 pin connector (05-07 sti only or if you swapped the 14 pin out for the pin 16 connector).

Radio and clock fuse blow (02-05)

When installing a Full-sweep cluster in to 02-05 Impreza remove wire from B28.

Cruise Indicator Light

Full-sweep 05-07 cluster into 05-07 Impreza move the wire in B28 to B16.

Rear Diff light

You can either ground pin B4 to turn the rear diff temp light off or connect it to the rear diff sensor if you added one.

I/C water sprayer low level light

When pin B5 is grounded the I/C water sprayer low level light will be on. If not connected the light will remain off.

05-07 STi cluster

These clusters have the 16 pin connector. You can plug your 14 pin harness into them if you do the following. Looking at the face of the14 pin connector with the wires facing away from you cut off the left top and bottom tabs. White arrows are pointing to the area.

Options when Programing the clusters

Km/h to MPH conversion

We can change the Km/h speedo to read in MPH on the following clusters: JDM V7 (180 Km/h speedo), V8 JDM (160 Km/h speedo) and V9 JDM (160 Km/h speedo). This is all done in the clusters memory chip with no mods to the circuit board. After this is done the number shown on the speedo face will be in MPH. So it will read 60 Km/h, but that will really be 60 MPH. We usually black out the K so the face reads m/h.

Odometer Programing

We can program the odometers on all GD clusters to match the miles currently on your car.

OAT C to F conversion

On all GD clusters. If you clusters OAT display reads in C we can swap it to read in F.
