Is there a reset button on the trip odometer?
The analog dash cluster utilized a mechanical cable-driven speedometer, odometer and trip odometer with an integrated reset button. The trip odometer is ordinarily reset to all zeroes with the button, and will accumulate trip mileage until it is reset again.
Why does my odometer stop when I Turn Off the car?
Hammer time! Thanks Clair, that sounds like a foboff answer, It does stop when turned off and re started. Cannot believe that an overloaded wire would cause that kind of issue though. It is true though. In older cars you had wires going every which way connecting up different things.
What causes a flashing odometer on a Fiat?
This can be caused by either, a node (ecu) that is not functioning, or the timing of signals incorrect down the CAN lines. If there are no errors in the system then it may just be due to timing, and a proxi alignment procedure would almost certainly have been done by the dealership concerned just to eliminate it.
Is there a way to reset the trip odometer?
To reset the trip odometer, just hold the change button for more than a second. It will reset to 0 and begin recounting for the new trip. Both trip odometers reset in the same way. However, you cannot reset the vehicle’s primary odometer. Tampering with the vehicle’s primary odometer is actually a federal crime.
