Sudden low fuel indicator (KIA Cerato) published by Manual-Mecanica
Good morning,
I am new in this forum, and I have been trying to find a solution to a problem that I have 1 week ago with my 2010 car Kia Cerato. As the title says, the fuel indicator of a suddenly low low, marking that the vehicle has no fuel, however the pond is full or full. I have tried to review the fuses if they are the problem, but these just looking at them are not burned. I don't know if the sensor works with relay. (I am neither mechanical and less electric) to all this), but I am trying to find out what the problem is before taking it to a review an electro-mecanic. If something similar happened to someone, I would appreciate it.

Atte.
Claudio T.

If the only thing that has stopped working is the fuel indicator, the only thing that fits, is an electrical interruption in the circuit. You would have to check the wiring that goes from the pond to the instruments. The problems usually occur in the connection sheets and not in the middle of the branches. Especially in the entrance file to pond. Incidentally, when controlling in that connection, it is convenient to measure electrical continuity at the entrance of the floating. If there is no continuity (cut circuit), indicate a failure in the level of the pond.

Hug and luck.

Claudio:
I agree with the colleague "Daagimenez", you must first check the signal to the fuel level indicator, that is, with a multimeter, see if there is continuity from the output end of the floating signal to the indicator input, if there were no problems there, then it is most likely that the rolled cable has been broken through which the "leg that is set to the piece that is set to the piece. Floating, therefore there is no signal conduction, that device is a capacitive transducer that according to its position in the winding the resistance is greater or less and therefore the signal that reaches the slate indicator clock is equally greater or lesser so you see that the needle lowers and rises according to the amount of fuel, as you can analyze whether the rolled cable is left there can be no signal, so it does not work.
I hope you have explained well and have been able to clarify something, hopefully you solve. Greetings
