VEHICLE DATA
The vehicle data parameters are available to the driver when the ignition is ON. The driver navigates through the various parameters displayed on the
driver information center (DIC) using the MODE button. Some parameters can be reset using the RESET button.
Some parameters require information from other modules via class 2 serial data messages. If the instrument cluster (IPC) has not received data for a
parameter when the time has come to display the parameter, the IPC will blank the data on the DIC. If the IPC has determined that a class 2
communication failure with one of the modules exists when the time has come to display the parameter, the IPC will display dashes on the DIC.
The vehicle data parameters are displayed in the following order:
1. Average fuel economy
2. Instantaneous fuel economy
3. Fuel range
4. Fuel used
5. GM oil life system
6. Battery voltage-with Boost Gage
7. Tire pressure monitor
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY
The average fuel economy is a function of the distance divided by the fuel used since the parameter was last reset. The IPC receives a class 2 message
from the PCM indicating the fuel used. The IPC uses the distance information calculated for the odometer display. The average fuel economy
parameter is displayed on the DIC in one of the following formats:
-
FUEL ECONOMY
XX.X AVG MPG
-
FUEL ECONOMY
XX.X AVG L/100 km
