Odometer resets itself to 102000km

Hello guys,

after a long time a new thing happened to my Stilo:

The odometer spontaneously resets itself to 102000km. This usually goes along with a weird average fuel consumption of 25l/100km. Then the odometer counts up normally until it resets itself to 102000km again.

Any suggestions?

Best,
Lars.

leave it like that as it will still have that mileage when you come to sell it

Re: Odometer resets itself to 102000km

Just noticed your sig. You have an abarth dash in a 1.2. Do you mean you have abarth dials?
Generally they don't like each other. See yellostilo posts about fitting abarth dials. Does it do it on the original dials?

Re: Odometer resets itself to 102000km

Hello Lars,

I put an Abarth instrument cluster in my 1.6L Stilo and had to fit a time delay circuit in between the switched power line to prevent "high coolant temperature" warnings and beeps during the initial start-up.
It also shows "cruise control activated" and sometimes it shows the level bar of the automatic light sensor which i don't have....
So there definately is a compatibility issue between the Abarth cluster and the 5NFt1 ecu of the 1.2 / 1.6L Stilo's....
Didn't you have any other problems after fitting your Abarth cluster?
I still haven't found the cause of these problems - I would fit the original cluster to check if the problem is solved after that - however it is a pity to remove the beautiful Abarth cluster , i agree...
Good luck finding a solution for your problem - please post here if you solved it ...

Re: Odometer resets itself to 102000km

Well, the dash works just fine - it has been fitted to my car via proxy realignment through the examiner. That should not be the problem. I have a time delay circuit, but only for the CN+. Which unit actually calculates the mileage and trip computer settings?
BTW, I don't have the original dash anymore...

Re: Odometer resets itself to 102000km

mileage and trip computer settings are stored in the instrument cluster.
Mileage is also stored in the engine ecu for reference.
I also did a proxy alignment procedure but i still have those compatibility issues...
I hope you will be able to solve your problem, good luck!

Re: Odometer resets itself to 102000km

Might not be any connection in this case but quite a while ago a member or two posted this problem and it turned out to be due to a garage trying to reset the service counter without Examiner.

Just a thought
