check your odometer
Yes, as the odometer is placed in a conspicuous place. Also, it is required by many auto dealerships to check how much mileage is in a car, to ensure that it still functions.
In owner's manual see instrument cluster, see chart for "check light" which should footnote you to another section in the owner's manual. Here you'll find the procedure. I have an'05. To reset: have odometer (not trip odometer) display showing; push in the odometer reset knob; while holding it in turn the ignition switch to "ON" position; continue to hold the odometer reset knob for a minimum of 5 seconds. Odometer will show zeros or dashes indicating procedure is done.
Check the website for IPD. There are many positive reviews for their odometer repair kit.http://www.ipdusa.com/Volvo-200/Interior/Odometer-Repair-Kit/p-69-262-4566/Juan

To fix the odometer in your 1990 Plymouth Horizon, start by removing the instrument cluster to access the odometer mechanism. Check for any broken gears or connections, as these are common issues. If you find damaged parts, you may need to replace them or consider a replacement odometer unit. Reassemble the cluster carefully and test the odometer to ensure it's functioning properly.
The transmission will not shift properly if you try to disable the odometer. The check engine light and abs light will also come on.
In California, a car with a non-functioning odometer can still pass a smog check, but it may face additional scrutiny. The technician performing the inspection will focus on emissions and overall vehicle condition rather than the odometer reading. However, if the vehicle has been modified or if there are concerns about its emissions controls, it may not pass. It's advisable to have the odometer repaired before the smog check for a smoother process.
To accurately track the distance you have traveled on your bicycle using an odometer, you need to first calibrate the odometer by entering the correct wheel size. Then, make sure the odometer is securely attached to your bike and start cycling. The odometer will measure the rotations of your bike's wheel and calculate the distance you have traveled based on the wheel size. Make sure to regularly check and calibrate the odometer to ensure accurate tracking of your distance.
If the speedometer breaks, it effects the odometer. Check the speedometer cable it may be broken, even under the insulation.
They are the same, however, I have to advise you here, there are federal laws about odometer tampering, so you better check them, and apply them to your situation, before proceeding.
Check the speed sensor.
