This is electrical and not cable driven so it most probably is a fault with the meter itself. If you are electronic savy, remove the meter assy and check the circuit board. If there are any signs of cracked soldered joints, resolder them and retest.

Of course you can but you would have to recalibrate the mileage to match.
