Why is the remaining range not displayed when there is fuel?
2 Answers
When there is fuel but the remaining range is not displayed, it is usually due to poor sensor contact. Below are specific details about the odometer: 1. Function of the odometer: The trip odometer can be used to record the driving distance from point A to point B, and it can also assist in calculating fuel consumption and the new maintenance cycle. The total odometer records the cumulative driving distance of the vehicle from the factory to the present. 2. Mileage calculation method: The minimum unit of the trip odometer (trip) is 0.1 kilometers. The basic calculation method is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, which is the actual fuel consumption divided by the actual distance traveled. That is, fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = fuel consumption (liters) ÷ distance traveled (kilometers).
Last time I encountered this issue where the car's range disappeared after a full tank, which was quite concerning. The cause might be the fuel level sensor, which is responsible for detecting the fuel amount. If it's clogged with dirt or the contacts are oxidized, the signal won't reach the dashboard. Additionally, loose or corroded wiring connections in the dashboard due to rain can also cause display failures. Sometimes, the car's computer might give false readings as well. I recommend getting it checked at a shop immediately—don't delay, as range information is crucial for long-distance driving. Running out of fuel unexpectedly on the road can be dangerous. Regular cleaning of the fuel system and checking wire connections can help prevent such issues.
