DISPLAY DOES NOT SHOW RANGE ON TRIP MODULE

With the key ON, the fuel consumption gauge on the display (one of the displays on the TRIP COMPUTER module) is not operational.

The fuel consumption readings are processed by the instrument panel node on the basis of information received from the body computer node (mileage) and the engine control node (litre of fuel consumed) made available to the instrument panel node via the B-CAN and C-CAN networks respectively. This data is then adjusted proportionally according to the tank capacity programmed at the end of the line.

In the absence of speed information (from the Brake Node) or instantaneous fuel consumption data (from the Engine Control Node), the fuel consumption data will be replaced by the reading "----"
