Odometer problem, but not my trip odometer
My engine Icon comes on and reads - PO470 - which is the exhaust pressure sensor, took it to Ford to check it out - hoping it was not the EGR also, it was not. So they told me they fixed it, they said they changed the sensor changed the batteries and cleared the codes - and off I go. I only live about 10 houses from the dealer and I don't drive this truck much, so Sunday afternoon I said to my wife, I would like to put 50 miles on the truck today to see if the engine Icon is going to come back on. I go out to the truck it had 70,000 miles exactly, I said well that should be easy so I cleared the trip odometer to 00.0 - I drive to the state park and back - My trip odometer reads 56.4 but my odometer reads 70936 - thats like 880 miles different. Anyone have a clue as to what may have happened. Thank you in advance - Dave

Good morning BadFord, Yes the sensor work the icon is gone, usually after 50 miles it would come back on if there is a problem after being cleared. Yesterday I drove it & it was the same. I don't know if Ford did something when they reset my computor, or if my instrument cluster has now gone bad, but would that not also affect my trip odometer & I call those foster grants my over 40 glases
