I believe the odometer reading is held in the Instrument Cluster microprocessor, but I could be wrong. Take a photo of your Odo mileage, change the PCM, if the Odo mileage is the same as before, I'm correct, if not, you're on the way to the dealer anyway.

The PCM may need programming at the dealer but you have to drive the Heep to the dealer to get it done, so if the Odo is okay and the Heep performs okay, you may want to hold off spending your money at the dealer. It will take a few trips for the PCM adaptive memory to catch up.

Of course, all of the above means your original problem is solved with a new PCM. Verify the Orange wire reading at the CPS as soon as you plug in the new PCM.

Ordered a remanufactured PCM on Monday from an Ebay store. Should be here on Friday and ready to install (Same part number, programmed with my VIN and Mileage).

Your mileage is stored in the cluster, not the PCM.
