lie o meter

[TPasquali]

Mine is running backwards. When im at a stop sign the mpg estimator goes up like to 35 mpg after a minute. When im coasting downhill it goes down like to 8 mpg. This happened right after i filled the tank.

Is there something i need to reset. Thanks in advance...

Theres a reset button right there by your lie-ometer

I did the reset up by the display but it still wants to run backwards. Im going to try pulling the main fuse in the fuse box in the morning to see if that will restart it correctly.

I would disconnect both batteries for about an hour. If that doesnt do it, it sounds like the overhead is failing. My B.I.L. hasnt read correctly in several years, last time I saw it, it had went from displaying random numbers and data to displaying CCM

I read on another website a guy was having this issue, he was showing an average of 99 mpg. He had the dealer correct it, and it wasn't the cheap of a fix.

I pulled the main fuse this morning, started it up, the dash said "no fuse". I turned it off ,snapped the fuse back in, started it back up and all seems to be well. Ill know for sure when i go to the airport to pick up my mom. She's going to help us clear 5 acres we bought 60 mi north of Houston. She's 91. he he

Sounds dumb, but make sure you didn't accidentally go metric system! It took me a little bit to figure out why my MPG's were going down when coasting and up when driving hard. I think the metric setting measures liters per 100km or something like that... so a higher number is using more fuel.
