Holding the Odometer Needle before crank

I read somewhere about holding down the odometer and turn the key to on and wait for a "Test" to show up. I forgot what this procedure do and wondering what it does?

its also a way to reset the pcm or so ive been told. some people have claimed that by doing it they increased their gas mileage. i was testing that theory a few tanks ago and it seemed to be true. i went form 14-15 to 16-17 mpg around town. but i had a better increase by changing my driving style and shifting sooner around town. im even using 6th around town some- last refill 251.3 miles / 13.7 gallons = 18.34 mpg. thats still with some hard accelerations for fun and testing my new intake.

By "holding down the odometer needle" do you mean that button that we press to reset our "trip" meter?
