If the app shows an error message when you tap “Calibrate OBD-II Device,” follow these steps to troubleshoot:
- Start your vehicle engine.
- Purchase and install the DashCommand app. That’s the best OBD app that obtains a wide variety of readings from the vehicle, even engine fault codes.
- Open DashCommand and go to Data Grid > Add PID > DTCs > Distance since diagnostic trouble codes cleared > check it > Back > Done. It will show up on the bottom. After a few seconds, you should see a number.
- If all the other readings showed up, but the one you just added, “SAE.CLR_DIST,” did not show any number, that means your vehicle does not support that reading.
- If the number is 65535, which means it’s maxed out, you need to select Diagnostics > Clear Codes. It will reset that reading. After reset, you need to disconnect from DashCommand, open mLog, and re-calibrate OBD.
mLog relies on that reading to determine the odometer. Not all vehicles support that reading. You can try this on a different car. If your vehicle does not support, unfortunately, we cannot do anything. But you can still use mLog with other Auto Start options.
