my car 2000 s70 the clock stopped

[misha]

I thought that 2000 and later cars (including '99)have CAN protocol and replacement parts like instrument cluster,abs unit,ecu,tcu,ECC....etc should be mated to a car in order to work.
Am i missing something here?

I thought so too. If the clock electronics pop out of the DIM, it probably doesn't need software marriage, but swapping a DIM on a 2000 will require the full ceremony.

Yes in hindsight the DIM has VIN info so you'd need at least matching ECM and ETM with the a matching firmware version to the ECM (though this may be the same as the donor car if you're lucky) . I'm on my 3rd ABS module from a similar model on my 2000 V70 due to testing and selling them. The same ABS part number as V70/S70 was on the early S80s also. TCM is not VIN coded (already swapped one out for testing in my 2000 V70). ECC may give a config error but will still work.

Thanks for suggesting precopster.

If you switch clusters, your mileage readout will change. I would do my best to replace just the clock portion if possible. Grab a cluster at a junk yard and take a look and see if it's even feasible. Or just stick one of these on your dash and forget about it!!

I will continue to look for a solution and I will share it here.
Thank you everyone

Instrument cluster code readout will tell you what's going on.
If you don't have Vida,you will need to visit a "stealership" to read the codes for you.

I know this is old but I just came across it. The clock in my 01 C70 doesnt move. I was thinking about replacing the cluster then saw the post to use VIDA, which I have. Where would I look under it? It's not like there will be directions for my problem.
