Why would they change the fuel level from how full the tank is, to how much “range” you have left (in miles for me), to a percent?! How am I suppose to know what my range is when it’s say @ 10%? This isn’t an electric vehicle.

it is using the PID data , as if you hook up a scanner this is what you see.
The IPC then translates that data to fuel level (Empty - 1/4 etc)
IDK why they can’t just provide the previous (translated) information we had.

I think it changes with the latest software update on your phone. Someone else mentioned this right after I finally got mine working right again. I'm not sure why they're doing these dumb changes but I guess someone there must need to do something to justify their job. Needless to say I'm skipping the updates for now. lol

New update for iOS (5.4.0) out today (8/20/24). They added the Range back but still have Fuel Percentage instead of the fuel gauge.

Still no way to add maintenance records or refresh vehicle data.

Just % and no miles - Android 5.3.2.

You're special I guess, with a way newer update - sheesh, maybe they don't like Rangers getting so well know for dump runs? =(

Mine now says 100% and no miles. It's really about 3/4 of a tank on the truck gauge so somethings wrong now. 5.3.2

Oh course, I am special, I have been telling everyone I know for years but you're the first one to recognize that...:handsinair:

I don't have any idea how Ford chooses to update the Ford Pass app but just have patience and you'll be up with the rest of us David.

Still % only. Grrrrrrrr!

Don't feel bad - I'm on 5.4 on Android and mine only shows % as well. Even weirder is that while the location used to work fine, now it shows it somewhere about 15 miles away - I drove thru there yesterday, but don't know why it would show that being its location, even though it knows it is parked.

They've totally dorked up the app, IMO. Just about the time they get it all fixed they will most like do another "refresh" and dork it all up all over again. Welcome to software development in the 21st century.

Mine does too now.
It says mine updated yesterday but still shows 5.4 - but now I see both percent and miles to empty. My location is still all wacked out though.
