Anybody else's odometer look like this when starting the ignition on their 2004 XLT?
First let me apologize for making a duplicate thread. There was a lot of confusion on what I meant so I decided to remake the thread for better clarification. My question is does anybody else's 2004 f150 odometer look like this when starting their truck? I've recently had odometer rollback suspicions and I'm hoping this isn't a swapped cluster. My main concern is the 'km.' The odometer reads in miles after this dissapears. Thanks in advance!
My Lariat has a different type of display. I think it goes blank during startup. However, I am a computer geek and your photo looks like a normal LCD startup test pattern. When you start an LCD you blacken every segment on the display to look for segments that don't turn black.
I'm guessing that Ford used the same LCD panel in the US and Canada and the KM segments only show up/blacken if you're driving a Canadian Ford.
I have a kitchen scale that does the same thing, when you power it on it lights up both OZ and GM (ounces and grams).

What I was refering to. I thought you got the answer you were looking for there. The odometer is going to be either in KM or miles, not both, or in between.

That's not my question. My question is, is my odometer supposed to look like this when I turn the key before while starting the truck. The km has me worried the cluster was swapped from a Canadian truck.

My fist thought as well... All the lights light up so you and the computer know it's all working
