How Do I Set or Correct a Vehicle’s Odometer in DT3?
Use these steps to initialize the mileage on a new bus, or to correct a vehicle’s mileage so it matches the real odometer. You change a few odometer fields on the vehicle’s Odometer/Service Data tab, then save.
Which Fields Do I Change?
| Situation | What to do |
| New bus that has never read in a fuel lane | Enter the bus’s current odometer in all four fields: A, B, C and D. |
| Bus has already read in the lanes, and the mileage just needs to match | Copy the value in C (Odometer Input At Last Transaction) and paste it into A and D. |
| Field name | |
| A | Current Protected LTD Mileage |
| B | Last Valid Odometer Reading |
| C | Odometer Input At Last Transaction |
| D | Expected On-Board Odometer(s) |
Steps
Log into Data Tools. The yellow numbers and letters on the screenshots match the steps and fields.
| 1 | Click the Vehicles tab. |
| 2 | In the Vehicle Data bar, type the vehicle number and press Enter (or click Go). |
| 3 | Click the Odometer/Service Data tab (it’s usually already selected). |
| 4 | Scroll down to the Odometer section and change fields A–D as described in the table above. |
| 5 | Click Save Changes in the black bar at the top of the screen. |
Double-check the numbers before you save. The LTD (life-to-date) mileage is what Fleetwatch sends to your maintenance system. Type the odometer exactly as shown on the bus (for example, 5069.3), with no commas.
✔ Check your work: search for the vehicle again and confirm the new values saved. After the bus’s next fueling, its mileage should continue from the value you entered.
Mileage still not matching after the next fueling? Contact Fleetwatch Support.
