ecometer drain - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm running 4.51. For some reason, I thought you had to hold the left button down but it's the right. I didn't want to accidentally reset my avg MPG from holding down the right button but it didn't affect it.

The new improved Ecometer drained down the battery after sitting in the garage for 4 days with the alarm off. The Yaris barely started. The dealership determined that the excessive draw from the new Ecometer is the same as the old one. These US made Ecometers have wasted me time and over 200 bucks in batteries. Once the Asians surpass us in computers and software development there will be very few things made in this country that will lead the world anymore. We'll still lead the world in global warming and the denial that assures it. If you drive a humongous SUV or pickup that's a good thing. It's all about protecting our freedumb!
