    I would imagine that the handshake would still be an issue if I extract the PCB and just replace it? How are people able to order replacement PCBs and get it to work if that is the case?

    I don't know the details, but since we know they must program in the odometer reading my best guess is that they also program in the VIN, or some cryptographic hash of it. There is also the possibility that there is no such VIN checking and something is wrong with the (re)installation, like a loose or omitted cable connection, or the replacement combination meter might be defective.
