  • The fuel sending unit float level changes frequently due to acceleration, deceleration, cornering, and slopes. As a result, the fuel gauge reading that is displayed is based on inputs it receives from the fuel sending unit, as well as inputs on fuel injector duration.
  • The following conditions may cause fuel gauge fluctuations:
    • Driving uphill and downhill for long periods of time.
    • Stopping in a slanted position, such as on a grade.
