How can I find out my total hours to date on my over-head data gizmo?

I know how to reset between oil changes and fill-ups but where is the total hrs. button?

Thanks

Tom

Total hours? I'm not sure that exist on the EVICs. I'll listen in, maybe there is a special mode you can access to see the total hours, as there is a mode to access the compass angle.

That would be fun, mine is from an 00 Grand Cherokee, so it has had it's share of hours in that.

If you want to find out what your total hours approximately is, take your odometer reading and devide that by 38. 38 MPH corresponds to some "standard" mean speed over a long period of time which manufactureres design their vehicles by. IIRC vehicle manufactureres design their vehicles to be run for 5,000hrs or approx. 188,000 miles.

Key on to run position, immediately hold down the trip reset button, the hours should show up on the odometer.

that's sooo cool! Have you assembled a list of all these undocumented features? I'm in the Network Engineering field and everyone's routers have undocumented commands that give you the really good info. I can google those. Not so much on Mopar....

Has anyone tried it on a 06? All it did for me was zero the trip odo unless I held it too long or some other dumb thing :roll:

Ditto. In fact, when this came up before, I don't recall anyone actually getting it to work. I wish it would, cause it would be interesting.

As far as I know it should work with any Chrysler vehicle. It works for sure on my '04 Cummins and my dad's '07 Cummins, and I've tried it before on development x-port vehicles. It seemed on my dad's newer truck you keyed on to run, instantly pressed the trip button, let up 5 or 6 sec later and it popped up on the odometer. I'll ask around and see if for some reason it didn't work on KJ...

As I recall one of the flashes disabled reading codes that way on the 06 models. There seems to be some suttle and some not so suttle differences between 05 and 06 computers :x

All it did on mine is run a test on the dash, odo counted from 1 to 9 as the needles moved arround and lights blinked.

The dashboard trick didn't do it for me either, just an advanced gauge test.

Inferno... Did your KJ come factory with the EVIC? I'd love to know what your vin coding is, or be able to copy your BCM's info onto mine. I have an 05 Limited too, but it seems like the only "limited" feature it came with was a power driver's seat.

No leather, no sunroof, no evic... It sucks not having that stuff, but not being able to turn on the computer options is really stupid. On my Jetta, I could recode everything if I needed to.

it is factory, and i have all the options... leather, EVIC, "6" way power seats ( really
4 way power, 2 way manual), sunroof, heated seats, premium system....i think
everything except for the nav system...

If you can tell me where to look i will give you the numbers on the BCM so there is
some comparison. and if we can finc a way to get my info off and flash yours that
is cool too.

My Little Bro, who is somewhere on this forum, has a limited but can't get the Tire
PSI, and some other random EVIC things that i can.

Thanks for that, I'll have to let you know. I've heard that the dealer can recode the BCM for various things, but it's all according to Mopar's build data which is tied to vin numbers.

I'm pretty friendly with my local (at home) dealership, I might stop there tomorrow and see about this. The guys in Savannah where I'm in grad school are more of the confused-by-new-ideas crowd. Maybe its as simple as turning options on with the DRBIII, maybe it is forcing a new vin profile onto it, and telling it to clone that info onto (other than the vin obviously) onto the BCM.

I wish I could do it with the AE device... but no such luck thus far. Maybe with the next version.

The guys who get the dash gauge test are holding the reset button before they turn their ignition to ON. As I read MrMopar64s post you must hold it 5 seconds AFTER you turn the key to ON.

Did anyone try with the key on ACC and hitting the reset button? Maybe the ON position on a gasser equals the "ACC" position on a diesel? Perhaps a daft idea, but it's for free :D

for a reference point i have 36444 miles and my total hour meter says 40:51:XX (hours:min:sec) so i doubt you have 1000 hours on your jeep.

Ah yes, 36000/40 is 900 miles per hour as an average speed.

I installed a Hobbs digital hour meter under the dash since Jeep was new. With 32,300 miles, I have 1210.7 hrs. Hour meter only runs when ignition is in the run position, not the acc position.
