IPK mode 19 sub section 6 verified

[Mickyboy]

Today I carried out some in depth analysis of IPK mode 19 sub section 6 and thought I’d share this with everyone as I’ve noticed recently users have been mentioning fuel level fluctuations on the gauge itself.

So what I did was I was looking to see if during the IPK mode can correctly analyse the fuel being added to the tank and the fuel level in the tank in litres correctly I have attached some photographs as you can see

The photo below shows that the car has approximately 10 L of fuel in it



The following photo shows that I added exactly 10 L of fuel at the pump


The following picture below shows the diagnostic mode after adding exactly 10 L of fuel, it shows clearly that 10 L have been added

Therefore it shows quite clearly that IPK diagnostic mode 19 subsection 6.2 can accurately determine the quantity of fuel remaining in the tank, as long as the first digit is one i.e. 1.6.2 as the first digit indicates both senders are receiving a signal if the first digit was to for example 2 it would only be getting a measurement from one sender if the first digit was 3 I believe that is an error unable to read.

I also drove whilst the figure was being displayed and the quantity of fuel did not vary by hardly any amount only slightly
I also drove the vehicle all the way down until it was on _ _0025 indicating it only had 2 & 1/2 L left in the tank, and before anybody says oh well you shouldn’t do that as you shouldn’t run them below a quarter of a tank well I did this for everybody’s benefit and also having a vehicle that has a single in tank pump system ie the later facelift version these pumps are fantastic and just never fail anyway and I’ve got a fair few in stock they never sell

I hope this has been of benefit to everyone, it just shows how accurately it can measure the quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
