recalibrate low fuel threshold
hello everyone,
my display changes to the "low fuel pump" display after 160miles or so- with usually around 1.6 gallons of fuel remaining. Any ideas on how to modify the threshold to indicate low fuel with around .5 gallon remaining? perhaps there is a reprogram feature or procedure for the dealer that would not require a sensor modification. The flashing fuel pump display is irritating to me- I would rather disable it than have it come on prematurely.

There's a procedure in the owners manual that allows you to reset the fuel gauge when the "Low Fuel" indicator comes on. Mine doesn't say "pump" on the display. You cannot "recalibrate" the system to suit your needs, unless you want to reverse engineer the software. Pay me a few hundred K and I'll get that done for ya.

according to the manual you can press both the buttons at once to get past the "low fuel" display. Mine does not say "fuel pump" rather it shows an icon representing a gasoline pump. The warning is not supposed to occur until 1.1 gallons remain, but mine activates with 1.6 or more.
