The symptom you describe above could be caused by the following:
1. faulty power or ground system for the meter itself
2. increased resistance in the VSS circuit; between the meter and the
VSS. (Because you say there is no MIL on or DTC stored, a short to power
or ground on that circuit is unlikely.)
3. faulty meter
