Something strange with a digit on my trip 'B' odometer...

Strange--my trip A & trip B have both been in 4 digits, and all are green.

 

Yes. That digit is cold! and turning red from the chill. If it is what I think it is, it should turn green when it gets warm.

Someone else, name not remembered, mentioned this in another thread probably last month. Since then, I have noticed it repeatedly on the upper two digits of the main odo, and on the top two bars the SOC gauge, when they get lit up on these cold mornings after the other digits have warmed, but before the car and whole display is warm.

This also explains the red/pink/salmon color some of us were claiming to have seen on the top SOC bars last summer and fall. My sighting then was in a cold car, parked on a high mountain trailhead all day then pointed immediately down a steep hill.

It would seem that the whole display should have this cast when first turned on, but I don't have a warm green reference next to it for comparison.

Can you watch it longer and report whether or not the red color fades with warming?

 

On mine the fourth digit is red. The top bar of the battery charge indicator is also red.

 

Sounds to me like a bad pixel in the display. When LCD screens first came out, the manufacturers claimed that something like up to 5 bad pixels was normal. At least point it out to your dealer next time the car is in for service. I'd probably just live with it.

 

The pattern of green at full brightness, and red/pink/salmon when dimmed with the headlights, is perfectly consistent with the top battery bar observations some of us saw last year.

Have you watched the MID during bootup? With the headlights on and panel brightness turned down, of course. During that brief animation, my screen is showing a scramble of green and pinkish sections.

I'm thinking this is a mixture of cold display segments, and some pattern burn-in difference between heavily used pixels and rarely used pixels.
