What causes the total mileage of the Jeep Cherokee to flash?

Free light total mileage flashing is a problem with the speed alarm setting, which can be adjusted by yourself. Total mileage: The total accumulated driving mileage of the car odometer, measured in kilometers (km); the car odometer actually consists of two meters, one is the speedometer and the other is the odometer; the car odometer is generally located directly in front of the driver's position; the car odometer also includes two LCD digital display windows connected to the same signal source, which respectively accumulate the current mileage and the total mileage. Fuel mileage: Refers to the total mileage that vehicles such as cars and ships can continuously travel with maximum fuel reserves. The driving range of an electric vehicle refers to the mileage traveled from the fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test specified by the standard, which is an important economic indicator of electric vehicles.
The most common reason for the odometer flashing on a Jeep Cherokee is unstable power supply, such as low battery voltage or aging. I've experienced similar issues with my own car, and the problem disappeared after replacing the battery. Another possible factor is loose wiring connections, especially the plugs and harnesses behind the dashboard. Long-term vibration or corrosion can cause poor contact, leading to flashing. Blown fuses are also a common issue—check the corresponding fuse in the fuse box and replace it if it's burnt out. Sometimes, the instrument cluster module itself may be faulty and require professional repair. I always recommend starting with the simpler checks, like measuring whether the battery voltage is above 12V. If it's below this value, the battery should be replaced or recharged. Delaying this could affect other systems and compromise driving safety. In short, regular car maintenance, especially electrical system checks, can prevent such troubles.
