Why is the driving range increasing?
1 Answers
The possible reasons for the increase in driving range are reduced fuel consumption or a malfunctioning fuel tank sensor. The specific reasons are as follows: Actual fuel consumption reduction: The driving range displayed on the dashboard is calculated by the vehicle's computer based on the amount of fuel remaining. If the vehicle's fuel consumption decreases on certain road sections, it can lead to an increase in the driving range. Fuel tank sensor malfunction: The driving range is determined by the amount of fuel remaining, and the fuel gauge is based on the fuel level sensor. Therefore, the conclusion is that the driving range depends on the fuel level sensor. The fuel level sensor is installed inside the fuel tank and detects the amount of fuel based on the fuel level. The fuel level sensor is commonly referred to as the fuel float. If the fuel float malfunctions, it may cause the driving range to increase.
