Sudden mileage jump?
« on: October 22, 2016, 09:37:01 »
Hi all,

[2012 Glee]

Any idea what happened here? I was checking the wiring on my heated grips which involved disconnecting the battery. Once done, I had to reset the clock but in cycling through the displays (trip 1 / 2, etc. ), I noticed my overall mileage is now showing as up over 30,000 which was a surprise as before I started, it was at about 23,000.

Is there a way to get it out back? How do I avoid this in the future?

Cheers!

I think when you disconnect the electrics and reconnect it goes to the default foreign settings.

I think you need it on ODO and press and hold the button on the dash to swap it back.
