We had this happen about 5 years ago at a Cummins shop. Freightliner had replaced a faulty oil pressure sensor and sent the rig next door to have Cummins reprogram the computer for the new sensor. They goofed and took out all the previous data including odometer reading. They were unable to get it back.
We keep an accurate trip log on paper anyway so are able to show what the real mileage should be. If I recall, the odometer shows something like 25,000 miles or 40,000 kilometers low but since we've put on almost 100,000 miles since I don't think it's a big deal.
Make note somewhere what the mileage was when it reset.
And the problem is I don't know the mileage when it reset. I know about what it was the first time I did it, but it's now done it three times. I'm pretty sure I'm close to 30k miles, but in reality it could be anyplace from 26k to 32k on the outside.
