Default MILEAGE CORRECTION info

HI,

Can somebody tell me if i can use my handheld tuner for Mileage correction to set back the miles? in my country THe Netherlands is it not prohibited by the law.

Or will this be a big problem for the PCM??


Thanks

Ralph

I've never heard of this being a user-selectable option, at least not with my SCT Xcal2. It's possible that the proprietary programming that folks like AM or Brenspeed have access to may possibly allow those changes but not that I've heard about either.

Why do you want to reset your mileage?

A Speedo Repair shop would be the only place that could do it ...

Can you explain more how the PCM is mixed up and why you want to alter the mileage on the car?

The mileage is stored in the gauge cluster itself, you would need to get it reprogrammed or buy a used gauge cluster that has close to the mileage you're really at and swap them.

It is also stored in the PCM, the only way to correct it would be to take it to a dealer.

You have any documentation that can back this up?? Can the dealer pull this from the PCM? You are the only person I have seen say this ... and I have done two Mustang cluster swaps and have done quite a bit of internet reading on the subject.
