- gasser9ExplorerIf you do not pull the batt2 fuse on a 2010 Buic Enclave the odometer will register.
- tenbearExplorerMy Subaru doesn't register the mileage, I doubt that your Honda does either.

neither of our jeeps register mileage while being towed. - Dakota98ExplorerPut vehicle in neutral, turn the switch to the off position, while you are in the drivers seat, have DW push for about 2 city blocks and watch the odo.
Hope that helps. :B
PS: if you tell her I suggested this approach, I will deny it. - mowermechExplorerIf the vehicle has a mechanical odometer (driven by a cable from the transmission output shaft), the towed miles will accumulate on the meter.
I don't know when the mechanical gauges were eliminated, but it was a LONG time ago, probably late 1980s or early 1990s.
Nearly any vehicle built since then will have an electronic speedometer/odometer. When the switch is in the OFF position, the towed miles will not be registered. - othertonkaExplorerMy 2002 CRV does not record any towing miles, Pilot could be dufferent
