2005 dodge dakota that reads error were the odomoter is located
Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive a distance message during normal operation, it will hold
and display the last data received until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position. If the cluster does not
receive a distance message within one second after the ignition switch is turned to the On position, it will
display the last distance message stored in the cluster memory. If the cluster is unable to display distance
information due to an error internal to the cluster, the VFD will display "Error".
Taken directly from the service manual...
Edit: To elaborate further, again from the manual:
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed pulse information received from the vehicle speed sensor and
engine speed pulse information received from the crankshaft position sensor, then sends the proper distance and
engine speed messages to the instrument cluster
Sounds like the cluster and PCM are having troubles communicating...
With the vehicle off and ignition off. Press and hold the oddometer button while turning the ignition key to the on position do not start the vehicle or go beyond the on position. When the test starts release the oddometer button. The gauges will go through the test cycles and various positions. This takes about 30-45 seconds. Then on the oddometer any test error codes will be displayed in this format XX XX when all the codes have been displayed and the test is completed the last oddometer indication will be 00 00. Then the operation will return to normal.

this is a good forum. start reading like the 3rd or 4th post. tells you to REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. and then goes on to talk about the PERFORM BODY VERIFICATION TEST ..
YOU CAN PULL ENGINE CODES WITH AN OBD 2 reader. usually autozone or any parts place will do it for free. plug in usually under steering wheel above feet, turn key to accessory with vehicle off, and run reader, get the codes, and email them to me [email protected] if you can. .

Yes, but a good quaulity code reader should be connected to the diagnostic connection link and a trouble code, that is stored in memory relating to the "error" should be retrieved. It may or may not be beyond the scope for a self repair and without special tools, but if I had the code, I could give details as to the cause.
