Trip Computer Problem

Troy · #1 24-08-2008, 09:20 PM

The trip computer on my 02 VX won't hold how far i've traveled. Say i've gone 400km, park the car for the night, come out the next morning and the trip computer read's 0.00km.

This is giving me the ****s, any idea's???

Cheers

It might be something to do with the battery, That is what happens when you disconnect the battery.
Are the terminals ok? anything loose at all?.

The loose terminals have caught me out before but no, no loose battery terminals & car starts fine. All radio stations stay where they are & don't have to reset the pin code for the radio either.

I wonder, is there is a battery back-up just for the K's, that might be stuffed?

Does the clock go off after you stop the car, Maybe try that, After to turn it off go out and have a look a few hours later and see?..

Not sure about the battery back to be honest?.

Everything on the car still works as normal, the only thing that goes missing is the Km's travelled if the car is not started for about 6 hrs.
