Gas Gauge Again

[Smartrs]

Mine does the same thing. In fact when I picked it up from the dlr on delivery, it was only reading 7/8 full. I of course whined about them not filling it up. Response of that's how they are new. OK? Anyway on it's first fill it went all the way to full. On second fill, 7/8 then 50 miles later it went full. I've been told it need a software update. Dlr is 100 miles away, so I'll try an update myself first. Regards, Bart

It worked for a few more tank fulls and now it will not go to full again. When it did not go to full I tried to put more gas it in but the pump just clicked off. I do not pump the gas it fast anyway. Will call the shop tomorrow.

Anybody else have this gas gauge problem multiple times?

Maybe it needs a new new sending unit.

I have had the same software upgrade done and experienced the same problem. Worked a couple of times then back to only going 3/4 full on a full tank. The fix is the instrument cluster has to be unplugged and plugged back in again for a reset. If this was not done with the reflash the fix was incomplete.

Mine has the 7/8 glitch too. Not really worried about it unless it gets worse.
