Default Zero cluster needles without removing?

Swapped my clusters today. Had to swap the speedometer overlay and now the needle is slightly off at 0mph. Is there a way to zero the needles without pulling it off again? Maybe through test mode?

I had this happen to me, soooo I removed that one needle, installed the cluster, started the truck, and positioned the needle on zero. (Of course, the front clear protective cover needs to be off) You dont need to screw it in, only place the cluster in its home.

Put the gauge cluster into engineering mode and see if performing a reset helps.

With the truck off, hold down the "M" button and then start the truck at the same time.

There are a series of menus and readings you can navigate through with the arrow keys on your steering wheel. One of them should try to reset and zero out / cycle the needles.
