RANGE (Analog)

The RANGE message is an estimate of the expected remaining driving distance with the current fuel level.. The vehicle driving range is based on the following circumstances:
^ The fuel remaining in the tank
^ The fuel economy over the last 25 miles (40 km) Since the last calculated range parameter is an estimated value, the display value and the actual value may vary. When the calculated range parameter falls below 65 km (40 miles), the LO RANGE message displays.

The IPC calculates the range parameter as follows:
Estimated Range = Distance Traveled/Fuel Used x Scale Factor x Filtered Fuel in Tank.

The driver may not reset the calculation. The data that the IPC uses in order to calculate the range parameter is lost if battery disconnect occurs. The message contains dashes if the IPC may not communicate with the PCM or PZM through the class 2 serial data line.
