If its like my 99 dodge it means out of calibration and it is because of the compass.when you drive around in a circle past 360 degrees or more it will go into calibration mode.Keep driving slowly in circles and it will recalibrate it. Be sure you are away from buildings in a large parking lot or a field works best.Hope this helps.
