Does the odometer work in neutral?
The better question is, if you tow the car in neutral will you damage the transmission. Usually, yes. The odometer is driven by the output shaft on the gearbox. If the wheels are turning, so is the output shaft.
What does it mean when your odometer reads 22.9?
If it reads 22.9, that means your odometer is off 2 tenths in ten miles. Divide .2 by 10 which equals .02 or 2%. Relate that to the teeth on your driven speedometer gear.
How can I get the odometer reading in kilometers?
To decode, simply convert the number to decimal using a hex to decimal converter, and then multiply by 16 to give you the odometer reading in kilometers. I got 211,024km. Using this method of calculation, I need the new cluster to read 314K, so I can divide it by 16 and convert it to HEX to give me the base value in the odometer dump.
Can a car odometer be tampered with?
Unlike trip odometers, conventional odometers cannot be legally reset or tampered with. Many older vehicles feature a five-digit odometer that has the potential to “roll over” after exceeding the 100,000-mile mark, making it difficult in some instances to determine the true mileage of the vehicle.

What should my speedometer read for 3 miles?
If your stopwatch read 2 min. 36 sec to go 3 miles, you would have 60 + 60 + 36 which equals 156. Divide this by 3 which equals 52 seconds average. You then divide that into the 3600 to give you the actual speed of 69.2 mph.
What should my speedometer be if my stopwatch is not on?
If your stopwatch shows exactly 60 seconds, then your speedometer is dead on, but if it is not then you have to calculate. Let’s say it took 1 minute, 3 seconds to go through the mile. Divide the 63 seconds into 3600 which will show your actual speed was 57.1 mph.
What to do if your odometer doesn’t turn on?
Hoping someone has had some experience and knows what my issue is. 1. Put the key in the ignition and turn the engine on. 2. If your odometer looks normal, go to step 3. If it doesn’t turn on, or the digits look strange, go to step 6. 3. Wait a few minutes and look for the word “ERROR” at the obometer.
