Average Fuel Economy
Average fuel economy is calculated using the equation: AFE = Distance/Fuel
-
Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value
-
Fuel = The accumulated fuel consumption since the last reset of this value
The ECM sends the average fuel economy GMLAN message to the IPM. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives a GMLAN message from the
instrument panel module (IPM) regarding fuel usage 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. Press and hold the Info button on the driver information center
(DIC) switch for 1 second in order to reset the AFE display.
Average Speed
Average speed is calculated using the equation: Average Speed = Distance/Ignition On
-
Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value
-
Ignition On = The accumulated ignition on time since the last reset of this value
Ignition on time is measured from the time that the ignition is turned ON to the time when the ignition is turned OFF. The value of this mode is
retained during ignition OFF. Press and hold the Reset button on the DIC switch for 1 second in order to reset the average speed display.
Battery Voltage
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives a GMLAN message from the instrument panel module (IPM) for battery voltage data. The gage on the
IPC displays similar battery voltage values. When the battery voltage is below the normal operating range, the DIC displays LOW and the actual
battery voltage. When the battery voltage is greater than the normal operating range, the driver information center (DIC) displays HIGH and the actual
battery voltage. The charging system indicator also illuminates when the battery voltage is outside the normal operating range.
Oil Life Remaining
The engine control module (ECM) sends the oil life remaining percentage to the instrument panel module (IPM) via GMLAN message. The
instrument panel cluster receives a GMLAN message from the IPM indicating the engine oil life remaining. The driver information center (DIC)
displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System as determined by the ECM. When the oil life remaining percentage drops below 5 percent,
