mrsel3 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Hi, I recently noticed my Gas gauge and my distance to empty read out are not in sync. It showed that with 3/4 of a tank i had 110 miles to empty. After a lot of driving I got to 77 miles on half a tank. Filled up the tank last nigh and it showed I have 200 miles to empty. I know the mpg sucked but this is crazy. Any thoughts? I have almost 60,000 miles on the car. i got it with 54,000 in august. its an 02 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 It sounds like it is not in sync, but the readings are based on an average of the latest types and style of driving, so if you did more of a mix of highway it would climb slowly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsel3 Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 Is there any way to sync them or reset it? Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Disconnecting the battery will make it start up on base maps and start a new average base to calculate. Normally i suggest just a fuse but this may need a few systems shut down to reboot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcv10guy Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 (edited) A few members have been having problems with their computer estimates too. Another member named Tsquared had a post called "05 Gas Milage", and he brought his ES back to the dealer and they reflashed his computer with a new program. I'd go back to the dealer and have them update your computer as well. Edited February 7, 2005 by vcv10guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
