SUBJECT:	Resetting the Lifetime Fuel Consumption Function of the Multi-Function Display (MFD)

 

INTRODUCTION

This Service Information bulletin provides a procedure for resetting the Lifetime Fuel Consumption function of the MFD.  Whenever replacing the MFD and / or Combination Meter, the Lifetime Fuel Consumption function of the MFD must be reset for accurate information to display going forward.  If not reset, erroneous values (either extremely high in the case of a MFD replacement or extremely low for a Combination Meter replacement) for Lifetime Fuel Consumption will be displayed.  There is no way to transfer the old / existing Lifetime Fuel Consumption results to the new MFD or Combination Meter allowing it to continue uninterrupted.  As a result, after replacement of the MFD and / or Combination Meter, all calculations will start fresh following performance of the following procedures.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION

• Access the Settings menu of the MFD by pulling the iSet 

  

   button on the steering wheel toward you and holding it until the “Setting” menu screen is displayed.  The iSet button is also used to select (or enter) the desired function of the screen being displayed.
• Pull the up ⇑ or down ⇓ button on the steering wheel to scroll through the Settings menu.
  
  Once “Initialize” is illuminated, pull the iSet button to select it.

 

• The next screen will have “Lifetime Fuel Cons” listed. Pull the up or down button to scroll until illuminated then the iSet button to select it.

• The next screen asks “Is it OK to reset.…” but No is illuminated. Pull the up or down button to toggle between Yes and No.  Pull the iSet button to select Yes when illuminated.

 

• The next screen asks if it is OK to reset again and as before, No will be illuminated. Pull the up or down button to toggle between YES and NO then the iSet button to select Yes.

 

• A reset confirmation screen will be displayed for about 3 seconds.

 

• The Settings / Reset to Defaults screen will automatically be displayed again with an option to “Return” or “Go Back”. Use the up or down button to scroll until “Return” or “Go Back” is illuminated then pull the iSet button to select it.

 

• Repeat the “Return” or “Go Back” selections until the customer’s previously selected “home screen” (clock, average mileage, miles to empty, etc.) is displayed on the MFD to complete the reset procedure.

REMINDER:  SOA strongly discourages the printing and/or local storage of service information as previously released information and electronic publications may be updated at any time.
