How Many Hours on Your Engine?
I found a way how to access the total number of hours on the engine and idle hours using the EVIC.
1) The engine must not be running. Have it in accessory mode
2) Press and hold the compass and music note for 6 seconds to gain access to the extended EVIC.
3) Navigate to any area that shows the miles on the car.
4) Now press and hold the Trip Reset Pin for 8-10 seconds.
A) The first item displayed is labeled hrs. This number is the total engine hours. (It des not include accessory modes).
This information is used to compare engine damage for warranty claims and graphed to show patterns or trends.Also to show if the speedometer was unpluged to keep the mileage down.
B) Press the trip pin again and the next labeled item is Idle. This is the total amount of time the engine was running and the car wasn’t moving. Example: stopped in traffic, letting the car warm up, etc.
