Fuel Range
This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions. 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 ECM sends the fuel range value to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives serial data messages from the ECM indicating the fuel level. The fuel range value is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by selecting English or Metric unit from the driver information center (DIC). The Fuel Range display cannot be reset. Whenever the calculated fuel range is less than 64 Km/h (39.8 miles) RANGE-LOW is displayed.
