Fuel Inclination meter reset

[galaxee]

if it ain't broke, don't try and fix it for the sake of tinkering. the inclination sensors correct for the car being on an incline when calculating what to display on the fuel gauge. you could throw off their calibration if you're not on a level surface when you do it. they recommend doing this on an alignment rack...

At one point over the summer I parked on a fairly steep slope
to the right, leaving the system powered on, to take a quick stop
into a store. A little while later I noticed that the MFD
average had reset itself. Apparently the strong tilt had been
interpreted as a refueling event.
.
I also went over some washboard sand roads over the summer that
were bouncing the whole instrument binnacle up and down so hard
I can't imagine how the sensors would be able to hold on to any
concept of reality under that kind of punishment.
.
I've never reset my sensors since the gauge and the sender seem
pretty well matched, but I might play one of these days.

In my case I thought that the gauge might have been off its calibration since my standard "fill" is maybe 7 gallons, less if it's cold. It would have been nice to find that there was an extra usable gallon or two sloshing around in there, but unfortunately that isn't the case. Instead I just run it down a bit farther since I have the ScanGauge giving me enough resolution to be comfortable.

meh.

this must be for older models like 2004.

don't work. Unless Iam just not getting it.

I think I will leave it alone

Didn't work on my '04 either.
