Screens & Tabs: Features & Functions

Note about Odometer readings: The RoadLog EOBR is typically calibrated

to observe the odometer reading from the engine’s computer. The engine

computer’s odometer reading can vary significantly from the odometer reading

displayed on the dashboard. These conflicting odometer readings both come

from different message sources within the vehicle. Therefore, odometer

readings from this device may not match the odometer reading displayed on

the dashboard.
