Fuel economy/ trip guage not working??

Disconnected battery the other day, does anyone know why the trip meter isnt displaying now and how to get it back?????

check your fuses .... in all three locations!!!

Welcome to the forum.

First I've heard of this - is the rest of the instrument cluster working?

If the rest of it is okay, I'd pop the fuse out, indicated in the picture below, to reset the dash.



If the rest of the dash is NOT working, check that fuse!

Thanks Tony ... I thought it would be a fuse, but without going out in the rain to check my car, i wouldnt know which fuse and where ...

glad u have the time to post lovely piccys like that to help guys on the forum ...!!!

Was easy enough, already had the photo on the site when I added the ambient temp sensor, from this thread (and specifically, here is the post).

thanx i will give that a try!

And another D40 problem. Lol.

Last D40 I drove had no tail lights at night, so went looking for the fuse panel and after 30 mins found the bloody fuse box in the engine bay on the left side at the rear.

Why 3 fuse panels ffs.

Probably to keep D22 owners confused.

As a D22 driver I'm suprised he even realised there was tail lights on the car let alone whether they were working.

A ambo driver yelled out the window and told me they weren't working.

Hey fellas,
Tried resetting dash by removing that fuse. It did reset the dash, but the trip meter/fuel economy has not returned. Any other ideas???

Have you tried depressing the little knobs that come out of the dash? Just the right one, not the left (which should adjust the clock). Give it a quick press and it should cycle through the trip meters, hold it in to reset the current trip meter.

Try both?

Failing that I can't think of anything except take it back to the dealer.

Hey Aussie Frontier,
Mate, i tried to enter the combination test mode but i cannot get into it!?
all it does is reset the trip kmz?
have u experienced this??

Hey Old Tony,
yea i have tried that, it only cycles through a and b trip kmz

It can do that if you get the timing wrong. However I dont know if that works on newer model D40. Now if you missing DTE then you must have a newer truck than mine.It could be the CPU in your dash cluster is different to the older D40 .

Sorry i am new to this, could someone tell me if i have a display that would tell me fuel economy?

Vehicle is 07 Nissan Navara D40 STX 6SP Manual

I have a bluetooth OBD adapter, and for my phone (Samsung Galaxy S II running Android) I've grabbed an application called Torque which is not bad. It does draw fuel economy figures from the ECU - I do think I will write to the author because it shows half the figures I'm actually getting - not sure why - maybe one of the options I've chosen in the vehicle profile is causing it to be out.

But to cut a long story short: the info is available if you have a means of accessing it. The Scangauge does have access to this information too, if you want to grab one of those.

Just bumping this coz I disconnected my bat the other day and just realized I've lost my temp n fuel economy meter Also. As well as distance to empty. Any ideas? I have a 2012 d40 Spanish st. Please help

Temp should come back as long as the sensor is in place. Fuel economy meter probably just reset itself and I'd expect it to start showing figures again once a few km have been travelled.
