Fuel economy gauge not working?

Postby macdaddy_STI » Fri Aug 05, 2011 7:53 pm

Just fueled up today and I thought I would reset the trip meters as I did I have noticed that the fuel economy gauge (the one that swings back and forward depending on how much throttle your using) have frozen.
Will it fix it's self or do I need to change something?
Can anyone help?

I'v noticed that gets stuck occasionally on mine also, but it sorts it self out and starts working properly once the car warms up and i'm driving at a consistent speed.
Sorry i cant give you a response as to why it does this tho..

Does it have anything to do with recently resetting the trip meter?

What I have found out is that it doesn't start working until the car has travelled 1km. Due to the gauge being a measurement of L/100km. Once you have traveled the 1km it starts working again and estimating your fuel economy.
