TITLE: Rewriting ODO Data on a New Gauge Control Module

APPLIES TO: 03-05 Accord
05 Odyssey
06 Ridgeline

SERVICE TIP:

If you're replacing the gauge control module, make sure you use the HDS to rewrite the ODO data from the old gauge control module to the new one.

Installing a gauge control module with a zeroed out odometer could lower the vehicle's resale value and even spark a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) investigation. Make sure you check with your state DMV for any mileage disclosure requirements. You may still need to apply a Mileage Disclosure sticker or provide a True Mileage Unknown (TMU) notification.
