L. Can I reset it to Zero or any other value?
No you cannot.
M. What are the conditions which may lead to a
wrong reading?
Faulty fuel level sensor
Vehicle Speed Sensor faulty
Any fuel leak in the system
Parking in a high gradient
N. How will I know that there is a problem with
my car on DTE?
If you encounter huge variations in the
DTE without a corresponding drop in the
fuel gauge, it may reflect a problem.
Please get it checked by the dealership.
O. What will be the decrease in DTE for every
one km of driving?
It will be one km decrease in DTE reading
for one km of driving if the vehicle is
driven steadily more on high way
conditions. But for one Km of driving
would decrease more than one km in DTE
when driven in city conditions.
P. What are the parameters affecting DTE?
The parameters affecting DTE are-
a. Driving pattern whether in high way or city
Conditions
b. Load on the engine
c. Electrical loads
d. Frequency of applying brakes and
changing gears.
e. Engine idling time
f. Fuel level.
g. Clutch riding.
h. Rash driving.
Q. When will the fuel warning lamp come "ON"?
The fuel warning lamp will come ON
along with first Bar blinking when there is
fuel reserve sufficient for ~ 50km
considering average of min 20km/Ltr
R. How is the DTE calculated?
DTE is based on what is called a running
average fuel economy (RAFE) and fuel
available in tank.
S. Why DTE value remains constant for long
duration?
This happens when actual distance which
vehicle can run with the available fuel and
existing fuel economy is much higher than
displayed DTE.
Or Fuel filled is more than the actual rated
capacity of Tank i.e. up to neck of Tank.
DTE will update after some distance or do
the ignition on and off for correcting the
Display DTE to actual
.
Average Fuel Economy:
A. Why AFE values keep on changing?
AFE value depends on driving patterns
and different trips. This value is published
by EMS ECU and averaged in IC for AFE
calculation based upon distance covered
in current trip.
B. Why AFE value is showing more or less than
normal during initial trip reset?
During initial trip reset the AFE value is
not matured so there are chances that
display AFE value is more or less than the
normal AFE value.
