Code Diagnostic E

[smighall]

I've been getting code diagnostic E for a while whenever stationary. I can see this is related to the fuel level sensor not activating zero according to the code.

Has anybody here experienced this and know the fix? I assume it's a new fuel level sensor required, however that in itself seems absolutely fine and the error goes as soon as i start moving again.

Perfect thanks gents. Will get a new microswitch and get it sorted one weekend then.

Thread resurrection time....

So i finally got around to doing this today, remarkably straight forward thanks to the advise given above. However unfortunately i'm still getting the error, does anybody know if i need to clear the codes with a laptop or similar, alternatively what else could cause the fault?

I can hear it clicking so know the cover is sweeping correctly and making contact. Think i'll have to have it out again and make sure the other end of the wires are still attached properly onto the PCB. Does anybody know if it's a switched ground the contact makes, or should there be a measurable voltage?

Fixed it this morning. The terminals on the fly lead from the microswitch were loose so not making proper contact. Remove them from the housing to tighten them up, re-installed and all is good again :-)
