Fuel Gauge Problem
The fuel gauge in my 1998 LS400 seems to be inaccurate. Its reading almost 3/4 tank but in the message center it says my range is 58 miles. Which should I trust? The only way I can think of is to fill it up and subtract the gallons I put in from the capacity. Does that make any sense?

My gage is off also in my 98... but I find the range value is dead on. A little bit of testing will show your range meter may be more accurate and the one to follow. I usually fill up after about 300 miles.

I filled the tank this morning with the needle gauge showing exactly 1/2 tank and the range as 53 miles. It took 19.2 gallons to fill it so I guess I will trust the range message instead of the gauge. I don't guess there is a "reset" option that I could try. Anyone know?

Regarding the reset, there is no special method. All you can do is just disconnect the battery and after waiting several minutes simply connect it.
Hope this helps.
