Adaptation of fuel gauge sender resistance range

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2003 Audi S8, 2003 Audi A8, 2002 Audi S8, 2002 Audi A8, and 2001 Audi S8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This function is used to adjust the resistance range for the fuel gauge sender in order to compensate for any misalignment of the fuel gauge sender.

NOTE:

"128" is the adaptation value for the standard resistance range for the fuel gauge sender as set by the factory.
The resistance value for the fuel gauge sender resistance range can be adjusted by +/- 8 Ohm to give an adaptation value between 120 and 136.
If the value "128" was changed due to a customer complaint, the changed value must be transferred when replacing instrument cluster.
