Tripmeters make no sense

[ExcursionDiesel]

If I have 72:33 hours/mins of operation over 6181 miles, I must have averaged 85 mph, right? And I did it with 16.4 mpg!

Notice I had 6946 miles total. My other total hours under "Vehicle Info" is more reasonable with over 200 hours.

Anyone else seeing this?

Yeah I can't make any sense of that either. Stumped with you.

If it was 72 days and 33 hours, you'd be at 3.5 mph.

That's more likely than 85mph!

The 72 hours isn’t time at speed I don’t think? It’s total elapsed time since it was reset, like idiling, remote start time, stop lights etc right? I’m not saying that will make the numbers make sense lol, just trying to figure out what the timer is telling you.

It can't be days. 72 days 33 hours should be displayed as 73 days 09 hours since there are 24 hours in a day.

The hour meter counts by seconds, minutes, then hours. You can watch the seconds and minutes change.

The mystery continues.

The trip meter also only counts to 99 Hours before it resets and starts at 0.

I knew it wasnt days... just FTR

Try 172 hours, it's a trip meter, probably not really designed as a odometer so the 99 hours before rolling back to 0 mentioned earlier makes sense, especially with 200ish hours of on time.

 

[Longhorn5G]

Boom. This mystery is solved.

 

[ExcursionDiesel]

And there it is. Great job guys. I knew there had to be some logic behind this...or lack thereof. Why would they roll it at 99? It's not like the hardware/software can't support numbers over 100!

Either way, now we know.

Winner winner chicken dinner! That's it!
