Digital Odometer Anomaly
My 2003 EX has the digital odometer that has 217326.5 miles on it. Yesterday while replacing the cold air intake system, both batteries were left unhooked for a few hours as the Viper security alarm was going off incessantly. After putting everything back together and firing up the EX, everything works as it should, but the odometer now shows in kilometers (349753.0) instead of miles. Everything else on the truck in the overhead display is in miles as it was and the E/M switch converts properly. Gave me a heart attack at first as there was a 132K mile difference. Took me a while of asking around before I was asked if it is in KM or Mi. Pulled out a calc, and confirmed 217326.5 mi = 349753 km. The PCM (read through the OBD) reads the numbers in miles correctly.
Is it possible to switch the odometer from KM back to MI? Also, need to figure out how this setting changed.

I don't have forscan. I've already spoken with my local dealer tech and will take it to them on Monday to have it checked out and reprogrammed if necessary.
