How can you verify an odometer reading?
The first way to detect odometer rollback fraud is to compare the mileage on the odometer with the mileage number on the vehicle maintenance or inspection records and CARFAX vehicle history report. Reparations and inspections normally record the mileage number.
Why is the odometer not showing on my Honda Civic?
Don’t know what they did but they knew what it was. The IMID does not display odometer, trip, range, or economy, this is fixed with a software update. Disconnecting the battery may reset and work for a while, but is not a permanent fix for the problem. Please see your Honda dealer. I have a Civic 2013 and experience the same problem.

How can you tell if your car has an odometer?
Step 1: Check the service history documentation. Ask the seller for their maintenance records. Each receipt should have the mileage and date in it. Follow the service history to see if the current mileage makes sense according to the seller’s previous track record of usage.

How does tampering with the odometer work?
This type of tampering is not like odometer rollback, the vehicle owner would just shut off the switch for a few months while driving so the mileage wouldn’t rack up, and if the driver need to see the speed of the vehicle at any time, that’s all they would have to do is turn the switch on for a few seconds, check their speed and then turn it off.
Why does my odometer keep showing wrong readings?

How can odometer readings be tampered with?
The readings are tampered with by either removing the odometer and winding back the numbers or by connecting the drive cable to another (newer) odometer. However, strict laws have now been put in place to avoid odometer fraud. The law requires that mechanics and car repair shops maintain records of odometer readings when they service a car.
Can a replacement odometer show the original mileage?
The odometer replacement sticker will have the original mileage hand written on it from the tech who replaced the meter. The repair order will also have the original mileage and date on it, the repair order is a legal document, and it is proof of original mileage. The new odometer will start clocking mileage from that point starting at zero miles.
Why do I have to send my odometer to the metering shop?
The reason for sending both new and old odometers to the metering shop is because the mileage of the vehicle cannot change while the new odometer is being synced. If the instrument cluster is removed from the vehicle, it’s to be expected that the vehicle will not be driven.
