Andrew...if I'm not mistaken...shouldn't the OP's OBC TEST 6 be showing 0.0 liters of gas on the left side in the scenario presented?

My thinking was that the left value (listed) in TEST 6 will go to zero first (fuel gauge should register around 1/2 tank)...then the right value then starts to go to zero.

If the OP has 1/4 tank of fuel left in the tank...TEST 6 should be showing 0.0 on the left side...and 0.7 on the right side.

Question to TallJames...does the left value (of TEST 6) ever change? If not, then perhaps something is wrong with the left fuel level sensor, too. And when you go to the 3rd screen of TEST 6...what "PHASE" is it giving?
  • PHASE 1 - regular computing method by way of sensors (both sensors OK)
  • PHASE 2 - calculation in progress from TKVA signal (sensor faulted)
  • PHASE 3 - fuel tank contents can not be computed, fuel gauge reads 0 (at least one sensor is faulted)
Example of TEST 6's 3rd screen:
