TB in odometer

My new to me 2006 E- 450 has a TB in the beginning of the odometer when it's in drive. You can see the last 4 numbers after the TB.
When the truck is put in park, the odometer goes back to normal, and displays just numbers
pushing the tow button makes no change.




I assume this is some kind of code, but can't seem to find anything.
This is a former U-Haul truck if that makes a difference in the diagnosis




I only recently bought the truck, but, as far as I can tell the truck runs normal

I found this info in the owners book.




The whole book is here:

Thanks for your reply.






I tried cycling through Tow/ Haul, and the code still stayed there.
As soon as you put the shifter in park, the odometer goes back to normal

Does it mean Trip B? Have you tried to push the odometer button to cycle through the different odometer settings?

I hit the button on the way home, and everything works as it should.
