Fuel gauges don't agree

I filled my 2014 F-150 today with gas. The fuel gauge shows full. The miles left to to drive shows I can only go 360 miles. Before this happened it would show 415 miles till empty. I've tried to reset it. Nothing changs


Dealer wanted me to bring my truck in for service :-(

I tried by disconnecting the battery. When I connect the battery back on everything reset. :-)

Probably because the computer has detected a change in gas mileage.

Tommy Johnson - Is there a way to reset it?
Yes. Consult your owner's manual.

(owner's manual) Don't have one -OR- would like a digital, searchable desktop document?
.
Owner's Manuals ««« -click-

» Select Your Year [ Choose One ]
» Select Your Make [ Choose One ]
» Select Your Model [ Choose One ]
»
*Don't be surpised if it doesn't show 415 miles till empty.
