Q: gas gauge goes up and down while driving on flat roads The most common cause of erratic fuel level is caused by a defective fuel level sender in the fuel tank is defective or out of position or restricted from going all the way up to full position.Click to see full answer. In this manner, what does it mean when your gas gauge fluctuates? Fuel gauge fluctuates between empty and full A fuel gauge displays that fluctuates between empty and full may be due to a mechanical failure. The fuel sending unit float arm may ‘stick’ at certain levels, and fall back into place either naturally or with help from vehicle movement.Subsequently, question is, why does my gas gauge always read full? If your gauge reads FULL AT ALL TIMES: If the gauge now reads Empty, the trouble is either poor grounding of the sender or a bad sending unit. If the gauge still reads Full, touch a grounded test wire to the sending unit terminal on the back of the dash gauge. This terminal is often marked with a red tag. Keeping this in view, how do you reset your gas gauge? How to Reset a Fuel Gauge Turn the ignition switch to the “On” position. Press the “Odo/Trip” button until the odometer is put into “ODO” mode. Turn off the ignition. Press and hold the “Odo/Trip” button. Release the “Odo/Trip” button. Why is my gas gauge inaccurate?The most common gauge problems are either a bad ground at the tank, or a sender problem. If you DO have 12 volts to the fuel gauge, the next step is to remove the fuel sending unit wire, and, with the ignition key “on”, ground the sender wire to a good chassis ground. The fuel gauge should immediately go to empty.
