Very glad to see the solution! We had a similar thing happen in October 2008 at Redding CA. We had a bad oil pressure sensor up near Hat Creek on the way to Susanville. Freightliner replaced it then sent the rig to the almost next door Cummins shop (who had referred us to Freightliner!) to have the ECM reset to recognise the new oil sensor. Odometer then read ZERO!
This was a Friday afternoon at closing time! They messed about for more than an hour then said to come back Monday when their tech support on the east coast would be open. We were on our way to Mexico and already several days behind schedule so we said we'd see them in the spring on our way home. We keep a daily log so we had a record of what the mileage should have been(30,920Mi or 48,910Km) and hit the road at 6:10 PM.
Flash to March 2009: Back at Cummins, unable to do anything. We were told that the tech had made an error and should have recorded and saved the ECM data in his laptop before resetting it. He hadn't so the previous data had been overwritten and was unrecoverable. I wonder how much luck I'll have now going back to the shop to get the right mileage put back in? It now reads 114,450 Km (71,118 miles) and should read 163,360Km (101,510 miles). Hmmmmmm. :h
