What Is Mileage Correction?

Mileage correction, also known as odometer adjustment, involves recalibrating your vehicle’s odometer to ensure accurate readings. This process is essential when the displayed mileage is incorrect due to mechanical faults, digital errors, or accidental resets.

At FM Auto Remapping, we specialize in professional mileage correction services to help drivers maintain accurate odometer readings and comply with regulations.

When Might You Need Mileage Correction?

There are several situations where mileage correction may be necessary:

• Dashboard or ECU Replacement: Replacing the dashboard or ECU can result in mismatched mileage data, requiring recalibration.
• Mechanical Faults: Faulty odometer sensors or wiring issues can lead to incorrect mileage readings.
• Accidental Resets: Power failures or software updates may reset the mileage displayed on the odometer.
• Imported Vehicles: Vehicles imported from other countries may require mileage conversion to match local standards.

If you’re unsure whether mileage correction is necessary for your car, our team of experts can provide a professional assessment.

How Does Mileage Correction Work?

Mileage correction involves accessing the vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU) and recalibrating the odometer using specialized equipment. Here’s how the process works:

1. Diagnostic Assessment: Our technicians identify the root cause of incorrect readings by performing an in-depth vehicle diagnosis.
2. Data Retrieval: Using advanced diagnostic tools, we retrieve the correct mileage data stored in the ECU or other components.
3. Mileage Recalibration: The odometer is recalibrated to reflect the accurate mileage based on retrieved data.
4. Verification: After adjustment, the vehicle is tested to ensure the new readings are accurate and fully functional.

Our professional mileage correction services are performed with precision to avoid errors and maintain your vehicle’s integrity.

Benefits of Accurate Mileage Readings

Accurate mileage readings are crucial for several reasons:

• Resale Value: Ensures transparency when selling your vehicle, helping you avoid disputes.
• Maintenance Schedules: Keeps your car’s maintenance intervals on track, prolonging its lifespan.
• Legal Compliance: Meets regulatory requirements for odometer accuracy, especially for imported or leased vehicles.
• Insurance Accuracy: Ensures your insurance premiums align with your vehicle’s true usage.

Legal Considerations for Mileage Correction

Mileage correction is a legal service when performed for legitimate reasons, such as fixing faults or updating inaccurate readings. However, deliberately altering mileage to misrepresent a vehicle’s condition for financial gain is illegal and punishable by law.
