in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law bans selling or installing a device that makes an odometer show the wrong mileage. It also bans disconnecting or resetting an odometer to hide the real mileage. Knowingly driving with a disconnected odometer to defraud someone is also illegal.

A person may not (1) advertise, sell, use, install, or have installed a device that makes a motor vehicle's odometer register a different mileage than the vehicle actually traveled, measured against the odometer's normal manufacturer tolerance; (2) disconnect, reset, alter, or have someone disconnect, reset, or alter an odometer, intending to change the mileage it shows; (3) intending to defraud, drive a motor vehicle on a street, road, or highway while knowing its odometer is disconnected or not working; or (4) conspire with someone else to do any of these things, or to violate section 32704 or 32705.
