95 grand cherokee vic just shut off after beep

ok so everyone knows how the service 4wd always comes on right??? well it did that and then beeped and came on then the whole vic screen just shut off.....no more date, time or beeps or anything.....kind of nice so i dont have to hear that beep all the time but will that mess up anything or make the 4wd run differently? or mess up my gearing???
thanks
