Reading for the DTE on overhead console is wrong

Library sec629 has chilton shopbooks

could be the exterior temp sender unit these are usually mounted on the underside of the drivers door mirror or the display itself may be reading wrong get the OBD codes read as may tell which sensor is not reading correctly

The DTE is automatic and is the result of your previous miles per gallon multiplied by the gallons of gas registered in your tank.

Unlike the Trip miles, this DTE number can not be reset. It will vary by the fuel mileage per gallon recorded at each startup. That is why if you filled the tank and showed 400DTE you may have had 20 Gallons multiplied by 20 MPG. But if your new average is 16 MPG then it would show 320 DTE.

look for a sensor in front of the raid it has 2 wires

The DTE is distance till empty I am uncertain as to why the others would not change though.

does the engine idle speed change when accelerating or does the engine bog down?

The overhead console is quite prone to internal failure. Dim, intermittent, or dead displays are a common symptom of an internal failure. We offer a reasonable repair service with a lifetime guarantee. Check it out: www.autoclockrepair.com

it mean that one of the electronic load leveling sensor is not reading. that sensor tells the air pump to fill up that air shock or air bag. the sensors maybe reasonable price wise but if the sensor is reading that an air shock is not holding air pressure and an air shock is not cheap.

The lamp holders in my 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan are brown. The correct lamp is a PC579.

You have to reset the information or it just continues to do average calculations, but you can reset it but holding down the same knob you use to read the information. When you restart your pathfinder the dte recalculates according to what was previously used, mine does it too!!
