The odometer counts the number of wheel revolutions to measure the distance traveled by the vehicle. These devices are mechanical and electronic. Correction of their testimony is a legal procedure, provided that you do not conceal it.
Instructions
Step 1
Disable mechanical odometer. As an example, let it be VAZ 2101. The shutdown process is very simple. Unscrew the speedometer cable from the instrument panel. It can also be done with many other car models, for example, VAZ (2102-2115); Audi 80, 90, 100, 200; BMW 3 Series (E-21); BMW 5 Series (E-12) etc.
Step 2
There may be a side effect - the noise of the speedometer cable under the instrument panel. To avoid this, the speedometer cable must be completely removed. The second option: unscrew the second end of the cable from the box and tie it to the body.
Step 3
Disable electrical odometer. For example, BMW 3 Series (E-30). To disconnect it, the easiest way is to pull out the plug of the instrument panel from the left side. Also, the fuel level, speedometer and daily odometer will no longer be displayed.
Step 4
The second way to shutdown on this model of the machine. Pull the fuse out of the fuse box, which is located under the hood on the left side (driver's side) near the windshield. Similarly, the odometer is disabled on cars such as BMW 5-series (E-28, E-34), BMW 6-series (E-24), BMW 7-series (E-23, E-32), Audi (100 body 44, 45), Volkswagen Passat Jetta, Volkswagen Caravelle.
Step 5
On more modern models, not everything is so simple. If you take a Toyota Land Cruiser, for example, an error may occur when disconnecting. When checking the car on the diagnostic computer, the program will show that the odometer was turned off (it will show what number was turned off, what was the value, which means that the mileage will be considered invalid). To fix the error, you will need the help of a very good specialist. An error when turning off the odometer appears on Toyota Land Cruiser 80, 90, 100, 200; Toyota Avensis; Toyota Mark 2; Mitsubishi Lancer (VIII, IX, X); Mitsubishi Pajero (III, IV, V) etc.
