Odometer reads error on 05 cavalier - Cavalier Chevrolet Cars & Trucks

Odometer
The IPC contains a season odometer and a trip odometer. Momentarily press the trip/reset switch on the IPC in order to toggle between the season odometer and the trip odometer. Press the trip/reset switch for greater than 2 seconds, while the trip odometer is displayed, in order to reset the trip odometer. The IPC displays the vehicle mileage and trip mileage as determined by the BCM. The BCM calculates the mileage based on the vehicle speed signal circuit from the PCM. The odometer will display 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected or there is a loss of class 2 communication.

IPC - instrument panel cluster.

Replace the instrument panel cluster (IPC). Refer to Instrument Cluster Replacement .

There are three main causes for a Cavalier's digital odometer not functioning correctly: the fuse has blown, the odometer's wiring connector is loose, or the instrument cluster has gone bad.

check the battery terminals and posts are shiny clean and tight. Have a load test done on the battery to check for a cell bridge failure.

the odometer needs to be rest.

Keep updated for more help.
Thanks.

You need to hook up a scanner and see what is going on, any fault codes and such. Check fuel pressure, check the fuel is being injected, check to make sure the camshaft belt (if it has one of course)is turning and so on.

Have you zeroed out your odometer lately. I do not know for sure if this will help - but there are plastic gaers behind the button that may not be lined up or possibly stripped (worst case). Resetting it may realign them.

Replace the dimmer switch for the dash lights.

check the odometer cable

It is the cable that connects to the trany..
