Trip Meter



Trip Meter

The trip meter displays the total distance which the vehicle has travelled since the last trip meter reset, up to 999.9 miles or kilometers. This is calculated by the processor using the wheel speed signals from the ABS module and is stored in the instrument cluster RAM. The trip meter will restart at zero if the total distance exceeds 999.9 miles or kilometers.

The trip meter LCD also contains a small dot, known as the manipulation point. The manipulation point shows if there is a total distance travelled or other data discrepancy between the instrument cluster and LCM.
