Opti Fuel Guage

[ALANT]

I don't have a fuel sender connected and an alarm low fuel keeps comimg on can this be bypassed? Or do you have to fit a resistor across the wires?

[LURCHER]

Yes it can be done on the Smart gauges but I am not sure how either I have a low oil warning all the time .

[ALANT]

Does anyone have a pdf manual for the smart guages? Or know where to get one? Don't loike the fact it flashes up fault sensor just because not connected.
Come on guys lots of people blow about the optis please help

In the Cal 1 or Cal 2 menu, to can turn off the tank gauge input...... Id agree it is a pain in the ass.

Right, as nobody else can be arsed to, I've dug out the manual:

You need the CAL 1 menu on the speedo. You access this by holding down the 'MODE' and '+' buttons simultaneously for around 6 seconds until the 'CAL 1' display screen appears.
Press the '-' or '+' button to select the option choice displayed in the [] brackets screen.
Press 'MODE' ['SAVE'] to save the setting and advance through the calibration selections.
You can pass through the 'Remote lighting and Contrast' and 'Time' options, then you get to the 'Display Units' option. Here you have the option to not display the 'fuel used screen' and the 'fuel mgmt screen'

Good luck

your low oil warning could be cos the engine oil tank is not primed properly, meaning it needs running, slip the lid off the tank or undo it slightly, as the oil reachs the top do it up again

just an idea as saw your post!

i dont beleive turning off the fuel gauge display will stop the "alarm" to stop this you need to connect the two wires together that are used for fuel gauge connection.

i would have thought the man who fitted the engine should have done this for you?

There are two oil level sensors on the opti - on engine tank and remote tank. I havent ever seen one without the remote tank gauge but i do beleive it is optional. as with the fuel gauge i dont beleive turning off this display will disable an alarm, you will need to connect the two wires together.
