Default Weird Message on Trip Computer

I'm getting a weird message intermittently when I switch functions on the trip computer in my 2001 C70 convertible. It will sometimes display the word "disc" and all six function LEDs will light. The display returns to normal after a short time. Everything seems to be working properly and there are no error lights lit. I can't find anything in the owner's manual about it. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Thanks for the tip. I sprayed the switch with some Lectra-Motive and worked it around. I haven't been able to get it to display "disc" since. I'll see how it does tomorrow while driving around.
