"Trip A" is a way of measuring the mileage you take on a short trip. If you push the button you should find that you have three settings (Mileage, "Trip A", and "Trip B") A short push of the button changes the setting. Holding the button down erases the setting. Holding the button does not erase the mileage setting, only the "Trip A" or "Trip B" setting. The first setting is the mileage of the vehicle . The second setting is "Trip A" will allow you to measure the distance of a short or long trip. You probably also have a "Trip B" which also allows you to keep track of the mileage for a second trip at the same time(a trip with in a trip). I reset "Trip B" after each oil change so I know how long it has been since the last oil change . I reset "Trip A" whenever I fill the gas tank so I can figure my fuel economy (Miles Per Gallon.MPG). Just divide the miles traveled by the number of gallons used. 350 miles divided by 10 gallons = 35 miles per gallon.
You will find that "Trip A" and "Trip B" can be very useful tools for taking care of your Toyota.

My 04 Chevrolet cavalier won't show the mileage it said error what is the problem?
Odometer
The IPC contains a season odometer and a trip odometer. Momentarily press the trip/reset switch on the IPC in order to toggle between the season odometer and the trip odometer. Press the trip/reset switch for greater than 2 seconds, while the trip odometer is displayed, in order to reset the trip odometer. The IPC displays the vehicle mileage and trip mileage as determined by the BCM. The BCM calculates the mileage based on the vehicle speed signal circuit from the PCM. The odometer will display 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected or there is a loss of class 2 communication.

IPC - instrument panel cluster.

Replace the instrument panel cluster (IPC). Refer to Instrument Cluster Replacement .

2008 pontiac g6 security light stays on t/c flashes then while driving the dash lights flicker and odometer says error.
Odometer
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays a season odometer and a trip odometer. Momentarily press the trip/reset switch in order to toggle between the season odometer and the trip odometer. Press the trip/reset switch for greater than 2 seconds, while the trip odometer is displayed, in order to reset the trip odometer. The odometer is calculated and stored electronically in the body control module (BCM). The BCM uses the vehicle speed information from the engine control module (ECM) to calculate the odometer. The odometer displays 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected. The IPC stores a backup copy of the odometer value incase the IPC stops receiving a valid odometer value from the BCM. The odometer will display 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected.

Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop .

My gmc terrain is showing "8" on dash where speedometer is. what does that mean?
The number 8 means that the digital display in between the speedometer and tachometer is reading your speed. It you set your display to trip odometer to trip one it will read 1, trip odometer 2 will read 2, fuel economy will read another number. and finally navigation will read 9.

My toyota corolla 2006 model has the maint. required lights on. what does that mean?
It means your car needs an oil change, based on mileage. If you take your car to get the oil changed, they can reset the light for you. If you want the light off now, try holding in the odometer reset button, with the key on but engine off, until little dashes appear then one by one dissapear. This procedure may need to be done either on the odometer total mileage or trip A mileage or trip B mileage.

Step 1: Have car off.

Step 2: Push and hold in trip reset button.

Step 3: While still holding button in, turn key to ON, but engine off. Wait for the little dashes to appear and disapear. If it doesn't work on the odometer setting. before turning key off, switch to Trip A setting. If the procedure doesn't work on the odometer setting or Trip A, try Trip B setting.

Step 4: Turn key off. Then start car. Maint. required light should be off.

How to reset the odometer after change the oil in 2006 honda acc rd

It is illegal to reset the odometer (total mileage the car has travelled, which is now how the odometer is defined), but if you mean the trip meter:
To reset a trip meter, display it, and then press and hold the Select/Reset knob until the number resets to ‘‘0.0’’.

Maint req light
That just means you're due for an oil change. they automatically come on after 5000 miles. To reset the light, put it on the odometer display in your instrument cluster. turn the key off. now push and hold the odometer/trip reset button while you turn on the key to the IGN position. You will see 5 dashes on the odometer display, which will sequencially disappear and then go back to the odometer when it's done. after your odometer shows again, you can release the odometer/trip reset button and your maintenence light should be off.
