Instrument Cluster Repair – Chevrolet Sonic / Spark / Trax & Holden Barina

Applicable Years: 2017–2021
Common Part Numbers: 42527221 and variants

This family of instrument clusters is widely used across several GM platforms, including:

  • 2017–2019 Chevrolet Sonic

  • 2018 Chevrolet Trax (Speedo Cluster MPH)

  • 2021 Chevrolet Spark

  • 2018 Holden Barina

  • Other GM variants using the same cluster architecture

These clusters are known for several recurring failures — the most common being LCD display issues, where the screen becomes dim, fails completely, has lines through it, or loses backlighting.

Common Faults We Repair

  • LCD screen failure – dim, blank, flickering, bleeding, or no backlight

  • Stepper motor faults – incorrect readings on speedo, rev counter, fuel, or temp gauges

  • Backlight failures – LEDs not illuminating or intermittent

  • Power/ground faults – cluster resets, random shutdowns, or intermittent operation

  • Communication issues – CAN faults or cluster not waking up

  • Internal component failures – voltage regulators, processors, or cracked solder joints

Our Service Includes

  • Full cluster diagnosis

  • Replacement of LCD with high-quality, long-life displays

  • Rework or replacement of stepper motors

  • LED backlight repairs and upgrades

  • Repair of internal electronics at the component level

  • Bench testing where applicable

Avoid the cost of replacement — we can return the original cluster to full working condition with a reliable, long-term repair.
