Instrument cluster fault

[GusMagicBus]

Hi All,

I have a 2010 i_MiEV which has just developed a fault. The instrument cluster shows no display on the speed, battery level and range display (basically all the LCD ones). But most of the dash lamps are ON all the time (tortoise, ABS, handbrake, MIL …..etc etc). It intermittently switches between the faulty display state and the correct display state. It still drives as normal, even with the dash fault. If I start it and it is in the fault condition the ‘Ready’ light does not come on anymore, but it still starts and drives.

I know it defo sounds like a job for the dealer, who is next on my list of people to ask... But I wondered if anyone else on this forum has had a similar issue and what the solution was? I’m hoping it could be a loose connector somewhere (wishful thinking..)

Thanks

Loose connector maybe, but probably just a bug in the EV ECU. A simple reset may be all that's necessary. Do you have anything plugged into the OBD port?

No, nothing plugged in. I guess I can try a very simple reset of disconecting the 12v battery in the first instance.
