Humm... Maybe it's not reading miles either!!! That could be a good thing...

I'd check the plugs in the back maybe ones not on all the way...

I would disconnect the plugs completely and try it again. I agree they must not be making a connection.

Try disconnecting the negative battery cable for 20-30 minutes then reconnect it. See if that resets everything.
