1). Replacing The Instrument Cluster
Most Japanese manufacturers put the vehicle mileage on the instrument cluster and not on the car computer. When you change the instrument cluster with a new one, the miles on the odometer will show zero. Replacing your instrument cluster with a used cluster from another car will show the miles from the original vehicle.
2). Manipulating the knob
This is the simplest way to reset mileage reading on the odometer. Locate a knob on the instrument cluster, press and hold down the knob for a few seconds. When the fuel economy comes up, the odometer will reset to zero.
3). Reassemble the Odometer
Resetting the odometer on older cars is an easy and straightforward task. Using common mechanic tools like screwdrivers and pliers, remove the instrument cluster, and reset the values by hand before reassembling it.
Some vehicle manufacturers are aware of these tricks and so they have added a tamper- proof seal. That way it will not be easy to reset the odometer without getting caught if a car has a tamper- proof seal.
