As I’ve mentioned before, my odometer is reading all 8s and last time a mechanic used an OBD reader, the mileage was about 10,000 fewer miles than I knew I had on the Jeep.
No huge deal, I figured I’d start tracking it periodically (after adding 10k miles to each reading ) with my own OBD-II reader once I replaced the one I couldn’t find.
However, now that I have one, I can’t read the mileage through the standard data views.
The best I can guess is that it’s not part of the standard set of data that Jeep officially supports, at least for my vehicle, and I have to use what one app refers to as a custom SAE sensor (or SAE PID).
Does anyone know how to configure one? I know the SAE PID to find the value, but apparently I have to define my own mapping to translate it.
Or any other suggestions on how to get the odometer reading?

What reader do you have? Some of the cheap ones can only read Pxxxx codes from the PCM, and IIRC in most cases the odometer master is stored in the BCM.

Well, shit. I had no idea. I had never even heard of the BCM.
I have something not too- cheap: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJRYMFC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Any recommendations? I need something that will interface with iOS, but that shouldn’t narrow the field much.

What Jeep? It seems odometer via OBDII is vehicle dependant, some manufacturers implement it, other don’t.

You need a real scan tool not a code reader

How does one distinguish between them?

Probably have to spend a grand to be able to read the other modules in the car
