!994 Toyota Corolla trip meter does not log miles.

Do you have power and ground to the cluster ?

Based on your actions, it sounds like a wiring problem.
Could be a weak connection at the cluster, or the speed sensor.

There is a reading on the Lower Right that indicates if it is Km or MI, It sounds like your Instrument Cluster is going bad or someone made a mistake with the Mileage on the Oil Change Sticker.

Pay close attention for the next few days and see what happens....

loose wire somewhwere in your dash board

Yes it does. You will need to remove the speedo and send it out for repair.

The odometer/trip meter work together via a IC and pulse motor. I just replaced the Instrument cluster in my 94 Corolla DX. I purchased a used cluster that had 230,000 miles showing( mine was 199,000). It' a "plug and play" system, electronic analog. The cluster I purchased the trip meter didn't function, I removed the speedometer from the cluster and applied some silicone spray to the plastic gears and now it's working, (the plastic gears are very fragile and after many miles and years they are prone to breakage). If you are lucky this might be a solution, If not buy a used instrument cluster and install it yourself and hope for the best (used). I didn't have a tachometer on my original cluster so I purchased a cluster with a Tach. The 94 DX and LE should be "plug and play",not sure about the CE. The change is quite simple tow screws remove the bezel, 4 screws remove the cluster, unpluy the connectors, 2 white 1 blue.The cluster was $55.00

Hi,
Turn on key,( do not start), Look at instrument cluster and find the digital numbers. Trip A Trip B and the miles you have on car. Press the black button until you can see the odometer. ( miles on car). Turn off key. With key off press the black button. Turn key on. (do not start). You will see some lines starting to erase themselves , when all the lines are gone, you have reset the maintenance schedule.
In about 4500 miles the light will come on again to remind you to change your oil.
Enjoy,
Wayne

• Hi, I can help.
• Trip meters are just that trip meters. Pressing the reset for them does not effect the odometer. Say you want to see how many miles it is to a place of destination from your home and keep track of gas mileage at the same time. You can use trip A for one and Trip B.

• If you have any comments you can feel free to leave them here and I will respond.
• Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Our 2006 Corolla has a "Maintenance Required" light in addition to the "Check Engine" one. MR light comes on every 5000 miles telling you to change oil and whatever's in the book. To turn it off,
Set Cluster Display to ODOMETER (not Trip A or Trip B)
Ignition Off
Hold Cluster Display button down
Ignition On, Continue to Hold button down
Odometer will change to "----------" then return to Miles Display
Light goes Out
