Fuel Range
This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions since the last reset of the value. Fuel Range is calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Distance Sum/Fuel Sum.
- Distance Sum = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
- Fuel Sum = The accumulated fuel delivered since the last reset of this value
The IPC receives a class 2 message from the ECM with fuel information. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English units and metric units by pressing the English/Metric button on the DIC switch. The Fuel Range display cannot be reset. Whenever the calculated fuel range is less than 30 miles as displayed in the DIC and/or the powertrain control module (PCM) sends a fuel volume less than 4.6 liters, RANGE-LOW is displayed.
