FUEL (Fuel sender setup)
The Control Box is able to read 10 of the most common fuel level sensors found in American-built
vehicles 1955 and newer, as well as many aftermarket sensors. The vast majority of customers
will use one of the preset options, but if your
fuel gauge won’t read correctly with one of the 10
presets, the system can be programmed to
“learn” the curve of your particular sensor. If “BIM” is
selected for the sensor type, the fuel level should be coming into the BIM I/O port through the use
of a BIM module. Additionally, the system can learn how far you typically are able to drive on a
tank of fuel and provide a range to empty reading.

INPUT (Sensor setup): This menu is used to select the fuel level sensor type. The table
below shows the options and resistance ranges as well as the user programmable
option. As the input selection is changed the fuel gauge will update immediately to the
new reading.

Note: If you select MANUAL ADJ, you must program the curve to your specific fuel sensor.
If you are selecting the MANUAL ADJ setting follow the steps below to program your
sensor
’s resistance curve. You will need to have the sensor out of the tank, or begin with
the tank empty and add fuel during the manual adjust fuel sensor setup.
MANUAL ADJ
:
Used to manually adjust fuel sensor curve:
PROGRAM: The message display will show
“BEGIN WITH 0% FUEL” and “XXXΩ”,
where xxx is the current resistance the Control Box is seeing from the fuel sensor.
You should be able to move the float up and down at this point and see the
resistance values follow the curve of your sensor.
o
Now, with the float in the empty position, tap Control Knob
o
The message display will show “33%” and “XXXΩ”. Move the float to 1/3 full,
tap Control Knob
o
The message dis
play will show “66%” and “XXXΩ”. Move the float to 2/3 full,
tap the Control Knob
o
The message displ
ay will show “99%” and “XXXΩ”. Move the float to the full
position, tap Control Knob.
