Mileage Error after seizing up?

After recently filling up & pulling away my MK3 Focus seized up with the ABS light going off.  As had filled up the trip meter was at think 330 miles, but after pulling over & getting it to restart the trip meter went to 530...!?!

How do you rest this so it shows an accurate amount, as it's showing approx half a tank & 230 miles remaining?

Any help/advice greatly appreciated!

    Can you be more specific about 'seizing up'?  :unsure: 

    There is no reset for the range reading as such.  All you can really do is reset the module using diags or pulling a fuse.  Hopefully it'll sort itself out eventually.
