Why is the range inconsistent with the fuel gauge?
1 Answers
The car's range is calculated by the onboard computer based on the vehicle's fuel consumption. In real-world conditions, fuel consumption cannot remain exactly the same every second, so it's normal for the range and fuel gauge to show inconsistencies. To restore the accurate range display, you should visit a 4S dealership and have professional technicians perform the necessary operations. This type of issue cannot be resolved by yourself. Below are some common situations that may cause inconsistency between the fuel gauge and range display: 1. When the fuel tank is known to be half full but the gauge suddenly drops to empty, this usually indicates a faulty fuel level sensor (fuel float) that requires cleaning or replacement. 2. If after driving a certain distance, the fuel gauge remains stuck at a certain position without reflecting actual fuel consumption, you should check whether the fuel float is stuck. If so, inspect its flexibility and replace it if necessary.
