ive got a 06 tc... and a friend of mine has the tc also (dont know the year) could anyone tell me why my gauges wont move when the car is started... his gauges move in a synchronized way... is that a setting?

 

You can toggle this on and off. I forget how, and I can't be bothered to search for you. It has something to do with pressing the ODO reset button a certain way.

I'm sure someone else will tell you what to do shortly...

 

hmm its stock for them to move. ive noticed with motorcycles fuel injected ones do it but carb ones dont. my 08 tc does it and i believe my friends 06 does it as well so im not sure why yours doesnt. did it use to or did it just stop doing it?

 

Nevermind, I did the work for you...

How do i enable/disable the 'needle jump' when starting the car using the trip meter button?
if you don't like the cool 'needle jump' feature when you first start your car, then you're a retard... er, i mean, if you would like to disable this annoying feature or if you turned it off by accident when NOT following the directions on the other trip meter easter eggs, then follow these steps (similar steps as seatbelt reminder buzzer, but you start with the lcd on 'trip a' or 'trip b', NOT 'ODO':

step 1 turn the key to the 'on' position. using the trip meter button, toggle the lcd until 'trip a' or 'trip b' is displayed on the lcd, NOT 'ODO'.

step 2 turn the key off. now, push and hold the trip meter button. while holding the trip meter button, turn the key to 'on'. continue to hold the trip meter button for 10 seconds.

step 3 the needle jump by default is set to on. once you've held the trip meter button for ten seconds, the lcd will then display 's-OFF', telling you that the needle jump is now turned off. you can now let go of the trip meter button. if pressed again in this mode, you will set the buzzer back to on, 's-ON'.

*note* if the battery or combination meter is disconnected, you will have to follow the procedure again.

 

haha thanks rod i like reading this kind of thing just in case i accidently mess mine up its a good quick fix solution!

 

thank you all (my car is used so maybe thats why) THANKS again RodC and tc2

 

An even quicker fix is just to disconnect the battery and everything will be back to normal, but that will also erase your saved radio stations and you will have to reset the power windows afterwards.

 

I figured. The previous owner must have turned it off for some reason.

 

wait rod, how do you disable the seat belt buzzer? since youre doing others research maybe you wont mind finding this for me? ;).. please?

 

The procedure for disabling the seatbelt reminder is very similar...

-------------------------

How do i enable/disable the seatbelt reminder buzzer noise using the trip meter button?
to enable/disable that annoying seatbelt reminder buzzer, follow these steps using the trip meter button, but make sure you still buckle up!:

step 1 turn the key to the 'on' position. using the trip meter button, toggle the lcd until 'ODO' is displayed.

step 2 turn the key off. turn the key back to the 'on' position. within six seconds of doing so, press and hold the trip meter button for ten seconds. after ten seconds, buckle the driver's side seatbelt.

step 3 the buzzer by default is set to on. once you've held the trip meter button for ten seconds and then buckled the driver's side seatbelt, the lcd will then disply 'b-OFF', telling you that the buzzer is now turned off. you can now let go of the trip meter button. if pressed again in this mode, you will set the buzzer back to on, 'b-ON'.

*note* if the battery or combination meter is disconnected, you will have to follow the procedure again.

 

^^That's where people get confused. Some think they are disabling the seat belt buzzer when they are actually disabling the needle jump.

 

thanks rod > all.

i disconnected that harness to the driver seat and left the airbag plugged in, seemed easier for me to do

 

Easier than holding down a button for 10 seconds?

 

well there's more to it besides that, but once i change my seats it's not gonna be plugged anymome cause there won't be a plug for it
