Cluster mystery

[mo2058130]

Got my cluster upgraded to have trans temp gauge and green LED’s. Now my cluster display MPG as 0.0 and will not change. It will also have the range to empty as 999 and will not change. Any thoughts? Thanks!!!!

Even though it’s on zero have you tried resetting it?

Might want to talk to whomever upgraded the cluster.

Did not try resetting in case I crawl deeper down the rabbit hole. I’ve sent it back so we’ll see.

I did, he agreed after some brief discussion to send me another cluster with the trans temp. and leds and all. Hopefully that will solve it.

Is there a functional difference between clusters that read: trip A / trip B as opposed to clusters that read personal / business ? Or is it just a different labeling?
Also the hour meter is labeled different: hour meter as opposed to engine hours. No biggie, if it’s just labels, just want to keep my ducks in a row.
Thank for all your help!

That is a great question - my ‘04 Tahoe had all those “expanded” parameters (personal/business, Inst MPG, etc), but my ‘05 Denali does not have them. Don’t know if there is a way to add them or if that is just the way the Denali’s came that year.

My guess is you no longer have a trip “A” and a trip “B”? If not it’s probably something someone thought would be a nice feature to track business miles but it ran out of steam.

My 04 Sierra and My brother in laws 03 Silverado had many functions on the DIC along with a digital PRNDL indicator. My 06 has the non digital PRNDL with red indicators under the selected gear. The DIC in the 06 has less features then the 04 and 03.

That’s the same as my ‘05 - I have Trip A & B, but not much else.
