Mendozer Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 On my way home last night I was stopped at the light and looked down at my trip meter and it was cycling between 158km and what appeared to be "ILL" written up. Happened a few times. Tried to take a picture but of course when I went to do this it didn't come back! Anyone have this happen before? What is it? The car is an 05 LGT 5MT with 38XXX km's on it. Any advise is welcomed. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendozer Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Well this thread went sideways quickly. Thanks for the killer tune, wish that played every time that reading came up. I seem to be incapable of using the SEARCH function as when I entered ILL in the search bar, it came back with ZERO results. Thanks for your help. P.S. I should have been more specific when I said "any advice is welcomed" Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 good sport Karl, yeah, it's hard to find; unfortunately it's too short when you put just "ill" in to search. as for getting it replaced, eh. mine doesn't i periodically. doesn't bother me. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYtoVT Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Mine did it along with the head/ heater unit's lights brightening and dimming. I harassed the dealer enough for them to stop saying they found nothing to finally replacing it. 3 days since and waiting to see if it happens again.

Mendozer Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'm pretty sure its as some of you stated. The contacts must be acting up. I just scrolled up and down a bit to clean them off. So far I haven't seen a re-occurrence. Only time will tell. Thanks for the help. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
