Did you have the cluster reprogrammed from KPH to MPH, or did it all of a sudden switch over?

No i never reprogram anything, i live in canada toronto so KMH works great for me. Do you know any shops that specialize on programming staff ? I know acura dealer would do that but they will charge big bucks. what's responsible for all the instruments and odometer?

They may charge more for labor, but they'll get the job done right, rather than throwing parts at it and end up spending more money in the end.

This problem is NOT something that I would trust to a small garage. Whatever's going on needs diagnostic equipment, resources, and training not found anywhere but an Acura service department.

So is it cluster or ecu , what do you think?

No idea, honestly....but the actual programming is in the cluster for the celsius/fahrenheit.
