WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2002 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Fuel Range display is the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel based on current fuel economy, fuel level and fuel capacity conditions. The DIC receives class 2 messages from the PCM indicating the cumulative fuel, fuel level percent and the fuel capacity. The DIC uses the distance information from the 4 Kppm vehicle speed signal from the PCM. The fuel range parameter is displayed in the DIC in one of the following formats:
- FUEL REMAINING RANGE: LOW MI
- FUEL REMAINING RANGE: LOW km
- FUEL REMAINING RANGE: ### MI
- FUEL REMAINING RANGE: ### km
The ### represents the calculated fuel range value. When the fuel level is in the low range there are no units displayed. The units of the display are English and metric and the fuel range cannot be reset by the driver.
