    Hello

    1st post here. I have not found anything remotely close to this problem. So this
    is why I have signed up. Hoping someone has had a similar issue.

    The PDRN display and odometer display, after removing the key, flashes on and off continuously.
    The 12 volt battery is a few days old. No codes coming up. The flashing stops only when
    the headlights are on. As soon as the door opens it goes back to flashing. I drove it for a few days then
    parked for 72 hours. which killed the battery. This is why I have a new 12 volt.

    Can videos post easily on this forum? If it helps I will shoot some video.

    Sounds like you're having an issue with the CM monitor display That's the gas gauge the transmission display and the speed company down in Texas call Texas hybrids they'll get you straightened out with the equal of a brand new one they do nice work I have two of them the parts in two of my three or four generation twos that I have here of course you want to make sure you're 12 volt is actually up to snuff just to be clear and everything else seems to be connected and there's no fuses no funny business etc there's not always a code for when the CM monitor is acting up I have gotten the code once but twice and another vehicle no code change the CM monitor and everything was fine I pretty much knew that was the problem.

    Hi Tombukt2


    I had the combo meter sent in and worked on. It bench tested fine. I re installed but it is still doing the same thing.
    flashing on and off after engine shut down. How can i post a video on this forum? I have an iphone.

    Flashing PRNDB can sometimes be part of the car wanting to tell you about a park actuator issue. Does the car park and unpark ok? Any other warning lights? Trouble codes?

    Yes the p lock issue can be a lot of fun. You should try and post a video and and YouTube it and link it to here I know it's kind of a pain but. Have you ever seen the park the car on level surface and all of that business on your center display?
