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 IPC. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed
between English units and metric units by selecting from the DIC options menu.
Average Speed
Average speed is calculated using the equation: Average Speed = AVS Distance/AVS Time
-
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
Oil Life Remaining
The engine control module (ECM) or the powertrain control module (PCM) sends the oil life remaining percentage to the instrument panel cluster
(IPC) via GMLAN message. The instrument panel cluster receives a GMLAN message 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/PCM. When the oil life remaining percentage
drops below 5 percent, the DIC displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON. When the engine oil is changed, reset the GM Oil Life System. Refer to
GM Oil Life System - Resetting.
