Issue: 1
Date: 12/05/03
Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Reading at "Full"
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
New Range Rover (LM) up to 4A154473
109
NOTE:
A vehicle after the safe VIN 4A154473 that has had work performed using a TestBook/T4 disc before "Range Rover 10" may experience this
complaint also because older software can have been loaded.
Service Action B136 dealt with this issue for vehicles in Retailer inventory.
SITUATION:
FUEL GAUGE READS BELOW THE FULL MARK
The customer may complain that the fuel gauge does not indicate "full" when the vehicle has been filled with fuel. Vehicles within the above VIN
range may require a software update. An error within early instrument pack software causes an incorrect fuel gauge level reading when the fuel tank
is actually filled to capacity.
RESOLUTION:
PROGRAM INSTRUMENT PACK
Should a customer complain that the fuel gauge does not read correctly, re-configure the instrument pack following the procedure outlined below
using TestBook/T4 CD Range Rover 10.
PARTS INFORMATION:
None required
TOOL INFORMATION:
CAUTION:
Use only Range Rover TestBook/T4 disc version 10 or later to ensure that the fuel gauge calibration is set to have the gauge read to the full
mark. TestBook/T4 disc .."Range Rover 10" or later

REPAIR PROCEDURE
RE-CONFIGURE INSTRUMENT PACK USING TESTBOOK/T4
CAUTION:
Use only "Range Rover 10" TestBook/T4 disc or a later version to adjust the fuel gauge reading on an original instrument pack. This will ensure
that the fuel gauge calibration is set to have the gauge read to the full mark.

the programming of the virgin Instrument Pack. The "Range Rover 10" disc can then be used to adjust the fuel gauge reading to the correct
configuration. Consult with the Technical HelpLine for assistance if required.
1. Connect TestBook/T4 to the vehicle and load disc Range Rover 10 or a later version.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions and select "Vehicle Configuration".
