Default DIC changes to odometer ?

I usually keep oil temperature up on my DIC. In the past, it has always remained at this setting after I start up the car.

Lately, the DIC "defaults" to the odometer after I start up the car, what gives ?

Battery might be going bad. That is a first sign, from what people here tell us.

Low battery conditions do this. Remember you can't go more than a few weeks without driving the C5 (unless you have a battery tender product), before the battery gets low or dead.

Good call guys ! I charged my 3-year old Exide AGM Battery (I have not been driving it much lately) and it fixed this.

Thanks, this is a great place.
