2004 chevy avalanche no odometer read out. This does not seem to fall into the perimeters of the speedo failure everyone complains about.Odometer shows 'odometer error' does not show mileage or any of the related features, fuel range, mi per gallon etc.Just quit.Checked dic fuse OK.

now triple posted. read my other responses.

why not stick to 1 post and update it.?

no, there is no cable. i answer that.

and ask you if the odometer works?????

and if you SCANNED the PCM. do that first.???

its all electronic end to end. this.



it just a stroked version of the 3.2 and is not GM engine.

this be it. always work engine with 6VE1w , facts.

"the 6VE1W 3.5L DOHC 24V V6 was introduced in 1998 with 215 hp (160 kW) and used until 2004"



see my other post , with facts.



stop guessing.

if the PCM says the VSS is good, it is, the sensor is GOOD.

stop guessing.

if the speedo is dead, and the odometer works this is a bad speedo.

and the no DTC for VSS proves that fact.



the VSS runs many things in your car, and the SCANNer would spit out lots of DTCs for all those other things too.

not just the speedo ./odometer failures.

SCAN it and stop guessing.



all cars, in USA< 1996 now, scan it first.

on newer cars. 10 times that, on my cars there are 1000s of DTCs.

even lost DC power to point X. Y and Z



scan it.

Hello BDG, The answer is no. If the VSS fails on your 97 Chevy, you will lose both speedometer and odometer functions. If your speedo is still working and your odometer is not, you have a broke odometer. This is a common failure with a lot of the older vehicles that were fitted with the mechanical odometer registers. Feel free to contact Kincer's Service for a repair salution.

post series LC ?
post country
?, and engine size.?
then post, symptoms./??
speedo does what exactly
and odometer , yes they are related.
my wild guess, is this car has advanced cluster design.
all 100% electronic with "CAN-BUS" controls.
so in most cases of that if ONLY speedo is dead, then it is.
if VSS is dead, scan the cars PCM, if mph vss is flat lined
the Speedo and the odometer goes dead.
the VSS is what increments the odometer. (like a clock)

Speedo cable needs to be lube,

Pretty common problem with these. Here's a guide to learn how to fix GM instrument clusters yourself, I used it to fix mine and it worked great.How to guide for Avalanche instrument cluster repair

no not a typical ignition problem. sounds like bad connection. yes check cables first. then check under hood fuse box. check engine ground. check little red box under hood by battery. check start cable connections. nice truck sorry to hear of the problem

Yes take your battery terminals off and hold them together for about 10 seconds that will reset your computer.

The only way to adjust the odometer is to bring it to a dealership and have them do it. For the cost and hastle over 20000 (4 oil changes), I would recommend leaving it alone.

it's most likely the cluster if one function works and the other doesn't. And, you likely have an electronic vehicle speed sensor that sends a signal to your analog cluster that then dispays your speed and odometer.

PUSH AND HOLD BUTTON IN SPEEDO CLUSTER. FIRST SET TE SPEEDO TO READ ODOMETER THEN PRES AND HOLD BUTTON.
