Did you recently install anything (gauge bezels, etc) that required removing the instrument surround? You may have disturbed a plug
that sits in the rear of the buttons or it may have come undone.
But you'll need to remove the surround to access it.

i dis'd the batt. for about 30 seconds and it changed a little bit but still acting weird. it then went to serv. tire mon. then went back to odometer only again. i bought the car like this so i am in the dark about the system failure. pressure in tires are all about 30-34psi so i think it is ok on pressure. i will try to dis' the battery for thirty minutes to see what happens.

Make sure none of the buttons are stuck in. Then see if you can check for codes:
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, but do not start the car.
2. Clear any pre-set messages by pressing the RESET button.
3. Hold the OPTIONS button down, and press the FUEL button 4 times. This will get you into the CODES section of the DIC. The computer will automatically display all the codes your car has created. It will cycle through each code every 3 seconds. Any code that ends in H is a code that was registered previously but is no longer an issue.
4. Once the computer has finished going through all of it's codes, press RESET to enter Manual Configuration mode. It should start with a module and show "NO CODES" or "# CODES".
5. To optionally reset the codes once in manual mode, press and hold RESET until it displays "NO CODES". You may not want to reset any codes until you have written them down for reference.
6. Press OPTIONS button to go to the next module.
