Rolling MPG, Recent MPG, Instantaneous MPG, and Power Factor Instantaneous MPG indicates the fuel economy calculated on a moment-by-moment basis. It generally fluctuates too rapidly to be useful for guiding your driving, so the VMS calculates a Rolling MPG. Rolling MPG considers fuel consumption over roughly a one minute time interval, while ignoring very low speed driving and idling.
Diagnostic Screen Whenever the engine detects a problem, it activates the Check Engine light on the dashboard. At the same time it transmits a series of codes which a mechanic can pick up using his “scan tool”. The VMS also picks up those codes, stores them, and translates them for you to read.
Information Screen Included on this screen is data on the engine hours, fuel, miles, and idle time. These values are from the engine’s internal memory, and are accurate from the moment the engine was built, regardless of when the engine or VMS was installed. The Net MPG value is calcu- lated from the total engine miles and hours, less idle hours.
