Focus ZTS L4-2.0L DOHC VIN 3 (2001)
distance covered in the last second / fuel consumption in the last second
A maximum value of 55 litres/100 km or 99 mpg can be displayed. If the signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) falls below 7 Hz, i.e. 5
km/h, then the display changes to liters per hour. If the signal increases to 9 Hz, then the display reverts to liters per 100 km.
Display of distance remaining
The distance remaining is calculated according to the following formula:
100 x current fuel level / average consumption
Fuel Gauge Sender Unit Values, Part 1
Fuel Gauge Sender Unit Values, Part 2
The trip computer module calculates the current fuel level from the resistance values that the fuel gauge sender unit outputs.
Since the input value fluctuates constantly because of the movement of the fuel in the tank, the trip computer module processes the value after a
time delay using an algorithm. If the circuit to the fuel gauge sender unit is broken or shorted, the following display is output: (---)
An acoustic warning signal is transmitted by the CTM when the following remaining distances are calculated: 80 km (50 miles), 40 km (25 miles),
20 km (10 miles) and 0 km (0 miles). In this case the display automatically switches over to remaining distance, regardless of which mode it is in.
The remaining distance displayed is not updated if the distance traveled is less than 5 km (3 miles) or if the ignition has been switched on for less
than five minutes. If the tank is filled with more than 9 liters (2 gallons), the value is immediately re-calculated and displayed.
Display of average speed
The average fuel speed is calculated for the last 1000 km traveled, or for the time since the last reset. If the current speed increases at a rate faster
than 1 km/h/s, the display will not be updated.
