Odometer reset after sensor replacement

[Pselaphid]

I have been driving for a while with my ABS/traction control lights on (2018 TC). I finally got around to replacing the front wheel position sensors and that solved the problem. But, now of course my actual odometer reading is off. Does the vehicle read mileage any way other than the wheel sensors? If so, can the odometer be reset using a diagnostic tool or some vehicle reset procedure?

 

Thanks,

Chris

The vehicle mileage is stored in the instrument cluster (IPC module) and this number can be changed with the right equipment. It's widely believed that there is another, secret, place the mileage is stored. In your case, the IPC mileage should match any other data. How many miles do you think you drove without a speedometer? You can increase the odometer using Forscan. You can also send the cluster to a third party and they can set it to any value for about $100. 

 

Right now Forscan is problematic becasue it is a Russian company and the sanctions are affecting them. If you are interested, review their website, forscan.org. You will need an adapter, the free Forscan software and an "extended" license fron Forscan to make the IPC modifications. A 2 month licnese is free but some have had problems getting one.

Thanks, that's useful information and what  I figured. I'm guessing I've put 3000 miles on it between to the two. I had one sensor done under warranty and did the second myself today. I would like to have the true mileage if/when I sell the vehicle.
