So heres my problem i was messing around with my gauge and my gas needle ended up falling off so i just placed it back, and put it back on zero, thing is i had no idea how much gas i had, i believe i had a half tank so after reassembling the gauge and turning on the car, the needle went up a to a full tank which i know i did not have so i readjusted it and put it a little below half a tank because i had let the car run for a while, i thought it was all fine but i had my doubts so i let the gas needle drop around E waiting for the gas indicator light to come on but it hasn't, i still have gas in my car but its very close to E. i don't want to risk it and empty out my car waiting for the gas light to come up, but i know I now my gas needle is all messed up. Does anybody know how to reset it. Any advice on what i should do?

 

Maybe try just filling your tank up to full and placing the needle to a little past full or "F'"

 

I'm pretty sure u put the key in the ON position, u hold in the trip meter button then hit the other one below or above it (trip A and trip B?) or vice versa and u will see your gas gauge needle jump to where it should be...

 

@baconcake @FlockoGS4 thanks guys so much ill try either one ASAP

 

good info! nice to know!

 

do you know it works for the 2000 gs300, tried it couple of seconds ago no luck but i feel like i was doing something wrong i put the car in the "ON" position without actually turning on the car and then held down the ODO/TRIP button before just hitting the reset button which is above the ODO/TRIP and i dint see nothing was i suppose to be holding the button longer or letting go at the same time, any help will be helpful. im killing myself trying to figure it out thanks again

 

Hold it down for at least 10 seconds and keep it held in while you hit the reset button....reverse the order and try it the other way, I gotta 98 gs400 and it works for me.....hmmm did u try resetting the ecu, take the negative terminal off your battery for a half an hour, I would try that next if my suggestion don't work.....
