Digital Dash Mileage Correction
Mileage correction and amendment on your car, van, or motorcycle may be required for a number of reasons. With more and more cars and other vehicle nowadays being fitted with digital instrument panels, it is not uncommon for these to occasionally break-down or simply develop a fault. Sometimes even a flat battery on your car can cause the the speedometer mileage to display incorrect information, with the dashboard instrument panel becoming corrupt.
When this happens a simple solution is to have an expert correct the mileage displayed by way of digital mileage correction, this is done using specialist equipment along with software that is unique for your own make and model of car.
Digital Mileage Adjustment Sheffield
When a speedometer or odometer fails on a car that has a digital display, it is the normal garage practice for the whole instrument cluster to be replaced with new parts. These could be parts that are "brand new" or "secondhand", often a reconditioned dash instrument cluster is fitted too. These instrument clusters will usually have anything from zero miles displayed (as is the case with a brand new part) to one that may have many thousands of miles displayed. When this is the case you need to get the mileage altered so that it reflects the actual mileage that should be on your car, this is done by way of appointing someone that undertakes digital mileage adjustment.
Faqs
How is a cars odometer display adjusted and corrected?
The mileage is adjusted / corrected by a process that involves reprogramming the relevant ecu (electronic control unit) by use of specialist equipment and / or a laptop computer. Reprogramming software that is compatible with your particular make and model of vehicle (car, van, motorcycle) is used to clear the current odometer mileage display and replace it with the correct mileage needed.
Where is this mileage information stored in my car?
The mileage information is usually stored in an EEPROM chip that is within an electronic control unit somewhere in your car. It is accessed for mileage correction by way of connecting the right programming equipment into the cars on board diagnostic socket, or as in the case with some cars, connecting direct on to the back of the instrument cluster.
Where is the diagnostic socket found?
The onboard diagnostic socket (known as a OBD2 socket) is usually found in the front passenger area of the car. Sometimes it is accessed from the removal of a trim panel, a cubby hole or can be found in the glovebox area. On a few cars it is found under the bonnet in the engine compartment, often near the fuse box.
What if my car does not have a OBD2 socket?
If you own or operate a car that does not have an onboard diagnostic socket, it may be necessary to remove the instrument cluster from the car to access the odometer mileage recording chip (the EEPROM). In these cases the reprogramming equipment will be connected by way of a special connector directly onto the back of the instrument cluster - allowing the mileage adjustment to take place.
How many miles can be taken off when the mileage correction is made?
This is purely down to each individual customer. It is the customers job to advise what the mileage should be adjusted to, with options to reduce the displayed mileage as well as increase it.When changing odometer units with brand new ones or secondhand ones (a lot of private customers buy used car instrument clusters from internet sites such as ebay) a lot of customers want the mileage to reflect what was on the "old" display. ie: 25,000 miles, 50,000 miles, or whatever figure is accurate.
