Odd, i was driving home today from school and all of a sudden my Tripodometer reset it self without me pushing the button. It was at 1650 miles next thing i know.. 0 miles. :?

Could this be a problem?

Might be something to bring up to a dealer. Did both trips reset?

 

[Alka]

It was on Trip B..only Trip B reset Trip A is still the same

What? My trip meter rolled over after 999.9 miles. I didn't think it could go to 1000 miles cause both of my trip meters are in the double or triple digits (A - reset after every full tank of gas, B - never reset), but I have 5,700 miles on my car.

 

[sammyafrikan]

me too... mine can't show anything over 999.9 miles.

 

[edgaress]

Manual Section 5-28. Max 999.9

 

[TellyDSP]

Sounds like your car forgot to reset and you caught it when it was saying "ohhh Sh!t"

 

[docgoku]

Yeah, that's really weird. How many total miles do you have on the car?

Mine resets at 999.9 and even my Honda Element's trip computers do the same. The honda guys were a little t'ed that it didn't count higher. Their argument was the LCD can display 000,000 so why not code the trips to hold that large of a value. I still don't see what car companies don't fix the trip meter to hold more. Oh well,

Cheers,

hmm.. i know all car Trips only go up to 999.9 then it resets..but i swear it was over 1600... :? thats the odd part i have about 1900 miles on my car

i could be wrong...i'm not sure now..i do wear sunglasses whenever i drive... and when you wear sunglasses and look at the gauges in your 3...since its all displayed by LCD lights n such it kind of glares... so i'm not sure any more

You sure it wasn't 160.0? Just checkin' :nsmile:

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

You sure you hadn't had a little sippy sippy?

 

[reeyal]

Oh no way...I have the same problem. I didn't reset my B trip since I got the car. So, around 2000 kms. Then, yesterday, it just reseted by itself. And I'm pretty sure I saw the trip over 999.9.

 

[gib]

the mile counter goes up to 999,9 then back to 0. Nothing wrong here.

 

[budgy]

Are you guys sure the trip only goes to 999.9?

I will confirm this tonight because I am using my Trip B meter to remind me of oil changes got it changed about 2000 kilometers ago I will see where my B trip meter is.

 

[DJ Spencer]

mine tells me to party like it's 1999.

Wait.. No it doesn't, that's the radio.

 

[SpecialK]

mine did that too!! i honestly didnt know that it resets itself automatically. i was getting gas the other day and resetted trip B cuz i was using B, then i went to A and it was a little over zero. having it reset at 999.9 would make sense cuz i just hit 1000 a few days ago.

but i thought when your using Trip B, Trip A doesnt go up in milage.
or does it?

Nope, both run concurrently

Speaking of the tripodometer

How do you reset it manually?

 

[Absinthe]

Press the button 2 seconds or longer.
