Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Lifetime Points
This is the accumulated point total for the lifetime of the vehicle. Lifetime points are used to determine which Eco stage has been achieved by the driver. Lifetime points are not deleted when the vehicle's 12 volt battery is disconnected, after resetting the PCM, or after a PCM update. The lifetime points can be reset (see ECO GUIDE FEEDBACK MONITOR ON THE MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY (MID) ). If the PCM is replaced, the lifetime points cannot be transferred to the new PCM.
