fuel economy gauge

[kowalski]

ok, so my battery died the other day. completely dead, not even the dash lights would light up. now my fuel economy gauge only shows 0 L/100Km or 29/30L /100KM what gives? and I thought it might just be because the battery was still dead, but i've done about 6 hours of driving without a change.

Hmmm, If every thing else is working properly I'd think the that either the SI board, Conductor plate or possibly the Tach. toasted...

Didn't charge the battery or hook up jumper cables with the Ign. on did you?

if youre looking to reset the OBC to U.S. you need to get a ballpoint pen and push the little reset button along with the AVG MPG button.

ign was off when everything was connected. the tach works fine, and the fuel econo gauge worked great that morning.

I don't have an OBC, I'm talking about the little gauge under the tach.
