phantomfsoc Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hi, I just bought a used 2011 Journey and I just realized that every time I start it, that my odometer switches back to Miles even though I've set it to Kilometers. I have the base model with the 4.3" screen if that says anything. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? Is there a secondary battery or something to keep that setting or something? Thanks dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 You must change it in the 4.3 "settings/display/units" menu and not just switch it from the steering wheel when in speedometer mode. 2late4u and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Welcome to the forum. Have you had a chance to review the information in your owners manual? There is a setting you can adjust to prevent this from happening. If you don't have an owners manual, you can download one from the dodge website. 11journeybama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually changed it in there but for some reason my settings will not hold.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 No. So we are to assume you are having the same issue. Just checking since you started replying to folks who were replying to the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramfrank Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) To summarise:1. There are two places where you can change the digital speedometer readout:- One is via the steering wheel controls, which is a temporary change and - The other is by changing the units selection in the settings menu using the touchscreen - the latter is supposed to effect a permanent change to the display units for the vehicle.Note that using the steering wheel switches to change the units display will ONLY change the speedometer readout and will NOT change the odometer or auto air conditioning temperature units and the selection IS NOT saved. If you use the touchscreen settings menu it will toggle all of the vehicle's display units between Metric to US and this selection WILL BE saved.2. Consider that if the setting has been changed in the main display using the touchscreen and the temperature and mnileage are now all in US measure and if the unit reverts to US measure after a restart even though Metric was selected . . . i.e. that you change the setting in the UNITS item under the SETTINGS menu and everything is fine until you switch off and then restart the vehicle . . . the problem could be a bad BCM, where such things are stored.If the vehicle is off warranty then this could be a very expensive thing to repair.

bramfrank Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) oh the steering wheel buttons will switch it...but when the truck is shut off and restarted it wont remember the setting That part is how it is supposed to work.

Lobitz68 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 oh the steering wheel buttons will switch it...but when the truck is shut off and restarted it wont remember the setting Correct. As bramfrank said you need to change the setting using the stereo display. jkeaton and 2011DodgeRamJourney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
