Default Trip Odometer Glitch

About 2 weeks ago I noticed that my digital trip odometer will flash "l.n" whenever I start up the car(97 Q Wagon). It goes on like that for about one-tenth of a mile before settling into the correct mileage. Has this happened to anyone else, and do you think it means anything significant?

Default Not really... it's only based on mileage...

Mine have been on for a year... I just ignore them. I can figure out when do service the car on my own. My shop can't reset it...

You can push and hold your trip reset **** for 2-3 seconds and it will stop... otherwise it keeps flashing for a minute.
