Problem overview

Some Hyundai Santa Fe Sport owners report experiencing issues with inaccurate fuel gauge readings and misleading MPG displays. These problems may stem from a faulty fuel sending unit, which measures the fuel level and communicates it to the dashboard gauge. Additionally, some owners notice that their fuel consumption displays show significantly higher readings than actual usage, often linked to malfunctions in the fuel gauge system. Diagnosing these issues typically involves checking the fuel sending unit and inspecting the wiring harness for faults. Some owners have found success by resetting the dashboard options to resolve discrepancies. If these issues arise, it is recommended to investigate these components to identify and address the underlying problems.
