Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation
The instrument cluster receives the fuel level information directly from the fuel sender. When the instrument cluster fails to receive the fuel level signal
for more than 33 seconds, then the fuel level gauge will move below E (empty). If the fuel level signal then operates correctly for more than 33 seconds,
the fuel gauge will return to the correct position.
Fuel fills of less than 22.7 liters (6 gallons) require at least 12 minutes to update the fuel gauge indication.
