This function has stopped working on my car, the other functions still seem OK - but the consumption just looks like:

---/- M/G all the time.

Does anyone know what is the reason for this, set-reset does not solve this problem?

What does it say in the owner's instruction manual?

Of course I'd forgotten Ben, you now have a nice shiny & correct o.m.

Never come across that one before. Be interesting to know what it is.

it also reads thus at the start of a journey after a 'reset'. It may mean it is not getting a signal that the car is actually moving.....

cheers

Mine has a similar problem - previous owner pointed it out to me and noted that it had come about when he swapped the OBC, and he couldn't work out how to "re-start" the beast. Haven't got to inspecting it as yet. Obviously, be interested to know a solution also. But wondering, given the history of mine, if Brucey's point above might be pointing accurately, but perhaps more broadly to a wire grounding somewhere that shouldn't be grounding (ie: interuption of the signal to that part of OBC)

Might just be worth depressing the imp/us/metric 'button' lower right (it looks like a allen screw head).
