Test No .06

In this function, the fuel tank volume for the right and left half of the fuel tank and the current total tank volume are shown in the Instrument Cluster matrix display.

This enables the function of the float level sensors to be checked.

Display: TNK 29.5/34.2/63.7L  .

TNKANZ 60.2L PHASE 1  .

The first numerical value in line 1 shows the contents of the left half of the fuel tank, the second, the volume of the right half of the tank. The third value is the current total value. If a level sensor is defective, it's value reverts to 0.

Line 2 shows the current average value (displayed value) for the contents of the fuel tank. The numerical value after the word phase refers to the valid computed number.

Phase 1: Regular computing method by way of sensors (both sensors OK).

Phase 2: Calculation in progress from TKVA signal (sensor faulted)

Phase 3: Fuel tank contents cannot be computed, fuel gauge reads 0 (at least one sensor is faulted).
