Trip computer resetting every time car is turned off.

[Will.]

The trip computer is resetting every time I turn the car off. How do I stop it from doing this?

Pissing me off because I want to know how many miles I've done since filling up lol.

Mine does this everytime i start up and it is NOT the battery, strangely if i wait 5 seconds after i turn ignition on before starting it doesn't reset itself.......

i bet it is, waiting 5 seconds is allowing the other electrical systems to start up first before you then crank the engine causing excess drain on the battery = reseting computer

 

[fraz101]

You have a point there Martin.......i bet it is too!!!!!

 

[lomas182]

Mine does this too, does anyone know that a new battery fixes the issue?
If the were an excess drain on the battery causing the computer to reser, why doesn't it reset my clock and radio?

110% your battery.....had it happen when I 1st bought the car, swapped it for a new one and all has been fine since (4+ years)

I thought battery reading the first post.

I thought my internet had died as I can't see the picture in the second post.

 

[WOBBLE46]

Thanks alot for posting this question mate,as this keeps happening to mine that I purchased 4weeks ago and has started to do this last week and now my emmissions light has come on....

 

[Will.]

I'm going to get a battery asap. Just waiting on my mate with a halfrauds trade card to come back home. Hopefully it will also sort the problem of starting up and then killing itself and then not starting that I had in the winter and again a few weeks ago.

 

[gothy]

my octavia did this, well i did it on purpose.
Check your fuses

 

[inpassing]

mines does it too

 

[d4vy]

Just to say also mine did this and it was my battery, changed it and the problem vanished!

 

[scott_172_cup]

can it be any other thing? mines started doing this fro last 4 months.. it struggles to turn over sometimes, as if it batterys dead.. resets trip computer etc. got a multimetre on it and the battery seems fine? i now try to park where i know i can let the car roll and jump start it as its refused to start at least 6 times in last 4 months, one where i was blocked between 2 cars

is it defo the battery? voltages seem fine though and once its jump started i can switch off literally 5 secs later and it'll contunue to start fine for the rest of that day and next week.. seems so random..

 

[eggy790]

also after a few failed start attempted it stops starting full stop untill you kick start it, all electrics still work but it doesnt have enough power to turn over..

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Have you changed the battery, eggy ?!

Could be duff alternator not charging the battery.

When you say you've got a MM on the battery, when doing what ? Sitting there idling, off, cranking, revving...?

I'm going to bump this because I have the same problem. I'm yet to change the battery, but if I do, and that doesn't fix it, what next? Alternator? Fuses? I've only noticed it recently, but I do a lot of miles and what with the winter truly upon us, it might just be battery change time.

Mine is the original Renault one too

Any advice would be very much appreciated

 

[Silent_Scone]

It'll be the battery. Mine did it last week as it's been sat for awhile

 

[fletch8]

battery mate.

mine was doing it every time id switch off, even for half an hour, few months later the battery died.

new battery and the problem has gone!

 

[Eddie.]

Thanks guys, I'll go do my homework on a new battery

Most places will check the battery is any good for free so if you change and still have the problem then it needed chnaging so there other issues as well.

If that doesnt fix it then check the alternator etc. There was a few cars which had dash fault but also check the earth point on the dashboard they cna be trouble.
