The fuel gauge does not work or the fuel sensor does not show the level correctly: causes, diagnostics and solutions to the problem

As you know, the FLS (fuel level sensor in the tank) is an important element in the design of the fuel system of a car. It is quite obvious that if the gauge does not show the fuel level on the dashboard or does not show the fuel level correctly, difficulties arise during the operation of the vehicle.

In such a situation, the driver is inevitably faced with the fact that it is not possible to accurately determine the level in the tank, it is difficult to calculate when it is necessary to refuel, calculate fuel consumption, etc. Next, we will look at why the fuel sensor does not show correctly or the fuel level indicator in the fuel tank does not work, as well as how to eliminate such malfunctions.

We take out the fuel pump.

The fuel pump on Largus is located under the rear seats.
In order for us to get to it, we recline (raise) the rear seats - “forward”. The hatch with the fuel pump is located under a black cover. To move the cover we need to unscrew the plastic fasteners and remove the top plastic casing.

We pull the floor covering a little to the side and the protective cover of the fuel pump is visible in front of us. We remove the protective cover and clean off all the dirt and dust near the plastic nut of the fuel pump. Now we can disconnect the supply fitting and unhook the connector.

To remove this connector, you need to have a small and thin screwdriver, otherwise you will not be able to bend it. Made a little awkwardly.

This will be the first and smallest difficulty we encountered.
