Freightliner Odometer

[msmith1199]

I have a Tropical on a Freightliner Chassis. Twice now my odometer has reset to 0 when the main chassis batteries had died. I know there is a way to get the real miles out of the ECM. Has anybody done it and do you know what you have to get to get the true mileage?

Hi Jerry,

I guess I overstated the "very" part of my post! When my odo changed, I did some searching and found a lot of threads on different forums, even had one going in our Mandalay group!

Glad you haven't had the problem.

This is a very common problem on Freighliners with the MMDC. If you've got the MMDC, go to the "diagnostics" menu, the password is 8127. Scroll down to an item that says "odometer compare" or something like that. It will show you what what is recorded in the ECU and the IP.

Most say Freightliner won't do anything about it. Mine odo dropped to about 62k from 115k a few weeks ago. I'm not going to do anything about it except disclose the real number if/when I sell the coach.
