It had happened only once upto now but after that i had not filled petrol so is this due to filling of low amount of petrol into tank? Or once i should check the readings after filling petrol of higher amount??

We should fill up minimum 500rs to get meter up-to-date. If we pour less than 500rs, it won't get update. This is what I observed in my Kia sonet vehicle.

There will be an air filled in between,, according to tank capacity fill atleast half tank ,then you will.get the complete bars and perfect readings

If electronic control unit is faulty then whether it will effect the function of engine immobilizer ,and other electronic systems???
