Sender Select Chart
The fuel level gauge can be custom calibrated to accurately display the output from any fuel level sender with an output
between 0 and 270 ohms.
1. Make sure the fuel level sender is connected to the gauge and the fuel tank is empty, or nearly empty, before proceeding.
2. Connect a Radio Shack 275-1556 or equivalent momentary button to the black and brown wires (see illustration on previous
page), or alternately touch the stripped ends of the black and brown wires to simulate pushing the button.
3. Press and hold the button, and apply power to the gauge. After 10 seconds, the display will momentarily display a number with
a dash on either side indicating the gauge is in sender select mode. The display can be incremented to the next position by
momentarily pressing the button. Allow the display to reach ‘-8-‘ and release the push button.
4. Remove power from the gauge to enter custom calibration mode.
5. Re-Apply power to the gauge. The gauge will display CCØ indicating that the empty calibration point can be entered.
6. With an empty, or nearly empty tank, capture the empty calibration point by momentarily (less than one second) pushing the
button. After 1 second, the gauge will display 100.
7. Fill the tank and momentarily (less than one second) push the button to capture the full calibration point. After approximately one
second, the gauge will reset, and begin reading the fuel level per the custom calibration.
8. Confirm that the gague reads the proper fuel level.
9. If the the proper fuel level is not indicated, return to step 3 and recalibrate.
10. Remove the momentary button if it was used, and tape the ends of the brown and black wires so they will not touch.
11. Coil the wires up under the dash.

Custom Sender Calibration
Sender Error
If no sender is connected, the gauge will display “E
ø
”. Approximately 4 seconds after the sender is connected, the gauge will display the
fuel level and resume normal operation. If sender is hooked up and “E
ø
” is displayed, check sender for improper ground or open circuit.
* Starting in ‘98, some GM models began using a different sender type.
If this calibration is not accurate, perform Custom Sender Calibration as described above.

2. If any other reserve level is desired, connect a Radio Shack 275-1556 or equivalent momentary button to the black and brown wires
(see illustration on prevous page), or alternately touch the stripped ends of the black and brown wires to simulate pushing the button.
3. Press and hold the button, and apply power to the gauge. Release the button before two seconds have elapsed. The gauge will
display “-r-”, indicating that the gauge is in programmable Reserve Level select mode.
4. Press and hold the button. The display will increment from r00 to r25, indicating 0% to 25% allowable reserve level. Release the
button when the display shows the desired reserve level. The display can be incremented to the position by momentarily pressing
the button.
5. Remove power from the gauge to store the new reserve level by turning off the ignition switch.
6. Re-apply power to the gauge, and confirm that it reads the proper reserve level before it displays the current fuel level. If the proper
reserve level is not read, return to step 3 and repeat the reserve level select process.
7. Remove power from the gauge by turning off the ignition switch.
8. Remove the momentary button if it was used, and tape the ends of the brown and black wires so they will not touch.
9. Coil the wires up under the dash.
When power is applied to the gauge, the display will light up with all eights immediately followed by the gauge firmware version. After
the firmware version is momentarily displayed, the gauge will display the reserve level (if enabled). After the reserve level is momentarily
displayed, the gauge will begin normal operation and display real time sender readings
