Fuel Distance/Mileage Module: Description and Operation
Description
The Message Center Control Assembly Switch Module (MCCA) is only available on vehicles equipped with an electronic instrument cluster (EIC).
The message center receives signals from the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), fuel tank sending unit, outside air temperature sensor, and the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM).
The message center goes through a prove out when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The message center then resumes the mode of
operation last used.
Directly below the message center is the message center control assembly (MCCA) switch module. The MCCA includes the following controls:
-
SELECT
-
RESET
-
ENG/MET
-
TRIP/RST
-
OD/TRIP
Operation

The TRIP/RST button will clear the trip distance displayed on either the TRIP 1 or TRIP 2 displays.
