DTE (Distance to Empty)
Unified meter and A/C amp. uses following signals to calculate the DTE signal.
–Fuel remaining signal (from the fuel level sensor unit)
–Fuel consumption signal (from ECM)
–Vehicle speed signal [from VDC/TCS/ABS control unit or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]
Trip computer receives DTE signal from the unified meter and A/C amp. with communication line.
Trip computer displays the DTE according to DTE signal.
The indication is refreshed every 30 seconds.
NOTE:
When fuel remaining is less than approx. 10 (10-5/8 US qt, 8-3/4 Imp qt), the display shows “dte” blink
as a warning. And the fuel remaining is less than approx. 8 (8-1/2 US qt, 7 Imp qt), the display shows “-
---”.
When the battery cable is disconnected and reconnected, the display shows “----” for 30 seconds.
Average Fuel Consumption
Unified meter and A/C amp. uses following signals to calculate the average fuel consumption signal.
–Fuel consumption signal (from ECM)
–Vehicle speed signal [from VDC/TCS/ABS control unit or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]
Trip computer receives the average fuel consumption signal from the unified meter and A/C amp. with
communication line.
Trip computer displays the average fuel consumption according to the average fuel consumption signal.
The indication is refreshed every 30 seconds.
NOTE:
If the average fuel consumption is reset, the average vehicle speed is reset at the same time. While driving
about 1/3 miles (500 m) or for 80 seconds after resetting, the display shows “----”.
Average Vehicle Speed
Unified meter and A/C amp. uses following signals to calculate the average vehicle speed signal.
–Trip distance signal
–Trip time signal
Trip computer receives the average vehicle speed signal from the unified meter and A/C amp. with com-
munication line.
Trip computer displays the average vehicle speed according the average vehicle speed signal.
The indication shows refreshed every 30 seconds.
NOTE:
If the average vehicle speed is reset, the average fuel consumption will be reset at the same time. After reset-
ting, the display will show “----” for 30 seconds.
Trip Time
Unified meter and A/C amp. calculates the time during ignition switch ON.
Trip computer receives the trip time signal from the unified meter and A/C amp. with communication line.
Trip computer displays trip time according to the trip time signal.
NOTE:
If trip time is reset, trip distance is reset at the same time.
Trip Distance
Unified meter and A/C amp. uses following signals to calculate the average fuel consumption signal.
–Trip time signal
–Vehicle speed signal from VDC/TCS/ABS control unit or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
Trip computer receives the trip distance signal from the unified meter and A/C amp. with communication
line.
Trip computer displays the trip distance according to the trip distance signal.
NOTE:
If trip distance is reset, trip time will be reset at the same time.

reconnected. In this case, with the sensor connected, disconnect
and reconnect the battery, then the correct temperature will be dis-
played.Refer to ATC-92, "
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PRO-
CESS" in “ATC”.
