Using VCX Nano to reset lifetime MPG on Chevy Volt

I use my VCX Nano to reset the lifetime mpg on my new (to me) 2012 Volt.

hey did you have to use a power supply for the volt in order to program the module thanks in advance

[@utjay2008]

No. The VCXNano gets its power via usb and/or obd2.

I have the laptop full of viruses HAHAHAHA but great tool! Hey can you disable auto start/stop with the VXDIAG?

[@utjay2008]

Yeah. That’s specifically why I use a “sacrificial” partition on my laptop. It’s a shame for an otherwise nice product. As for auto start / stop I don’t know. Good luck though!

Is it possible to increase lifetime number by driving correctly?

[@utjay2008]

Yes. I just bought a 2014 with 150k and it was driven mostly on gas. Its lifetime was around 45. I have it up to about 49 now. I’ve had it 2 months and never put gas in it lol.

[@mrlovespread2006]

what's the point of resetting the lifetime mpg? I think it's important to have the accurate reading.

[@utjay2008]

I recently bought the car from someone who didn’t charge it much. The number is not official in any way or used for any maintenance of any kind. (Also it’s based on 250 mpg for battery which isn’t real.) I’d rather have it reflect my own driving style. It’s currently hovering around 212 mpg.

Whatever he said 😂😂😂

because in this video i see p16 instrument cluster so maybe i can get lucky lol

[@utjay2008]

I think you jumped videos. Lol. I think the question is if it’ll let you program the odometer.

@@utjay2008 my bad, i was watching all your volt vids. and yes, just need to program the instrument cluster to read the correct mileage. right now it shows dashes
