Odometer problem 2001 Ford f-150

Odometer
The IPC contains a season odometer and a trip odometer. Momentarily press the trip/reset switch on the IPC in order to toggle between the season odometer and the trip odometer. Press the trip/reset switch for greater than 2 seconds, while the trip odometer is displayed, in order to reset the trip odometer. The IPC displays the vehicle mileage and trip mileage as determined by the BCM. The BCM calculates the mileage based on the vehicle speed signal circuit from the PCM. The odometer will display 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected or there is a loss of class 2 communication.

IPC - instrument panel cluster.

Replace the instrument panel cluster (IPC). Refer to Instrument Cluster Replacement .

Odometer
The odometer is an electronic digital display. Digits displayed are illuminated by the odometer backlight bulb. The odometer backlight bulb brightness is controlled by class 2 messages from the BCM to adjust the display for daylight and instrument panel dimming operation. The trip odometer and total odometer will show in this display area. The push button in the lower right side of the speedometer is used to toggle between the trip and total odometer readings. To reset the trip odometer, push and hold the button down for at least two seconds. The total odometer display has six digits with no decimal display. The trip odometer has four digits including a decimal point and indicates tenths of a mile or kilometer.
The body control module (BCM) stores the vehicle mileage. If the BCM fails, the cluster will display the last valid mileage that was sent before the BCM failed. For replacement of the BCM refer to the BCM section of this service manual. Replacement instrument clusters do not require odometer pre-setting before installation. If the instrument cluster is replaced, the mileage stored in the BCM will be sent to the new cluster via serial data, and shown in the odometer display.

Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

Try 2004 buick rendezvous fuse box diagram Google Search

check connectors, probably just loosen connection, or then burned out display..... go to car shop....

My question is, Why would you?



If you changed the dash cluster and you want to have it match what your car has on the old ones, see your Ford dealer and there is a place they can send it to have mileage corrected.



If you are talking about resetting the TRIP odometer, there should be a button on the dash face near the trip odometer you push and it will reset the trip mileage.



Any other reason than these would be constituted as a fraudulent act if you are re-selling the car. Actual mileage is how warenties and

overall condition of cars are judged. To sell a car with "re-set" mileage will get you in deep with your State Government.

This is right from GMC service repair manual
Odometer
The vehicle odometer is calculated and stored electronically in the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The base IPC contains a season odometer and a trip odometer. The uplevel IPC contains a season odometer and two trip odometers. Momentarily press the trip/reset switch on the IPC in order to toggle between the season odometer and the trip odometer. Press the trip/reset switch for greater than 2 seconds, while the trip odometer is displayed, in order to reset the trip odometer.
The IPC calculates the mileage based on the vehicle speed signal circuit from the engine control module (ECM). The odometer will display 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected. The odometer displays either miles or kilometers as requested by the activation of the Personalization button on the steering wheel controls.

push trip odometer button so that the mileage is displayed. hold in trip odometer button, keep holding in while turning key on, keep holding until you see the dashes on the display count down and disappear. the oil change light is now reset.

3. Release the trip button.
4. Turn off ignition.
The service reminder should be reset. Don't forget to service your car.

sounds like a instrument cluster fault

Turn the key on.

Observe the odometer

Is it displaying ODO/total miles traveled? If not, depress the trip reset button until ODO is displayed

Key off

Press & hold the trip reset button, keep pressing it until advised to release it.

Key on

Observe the odometer display

you should see 5 dashes, then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1, and then 5 zeros, and then the mileage you started with.

Release the button.

You are done,

If you do NOT see 5 dashes, 4-3-2-1, set the trip meter to "trip 'A'"
and retry as instructed above. Some Toyotas use either method.
