What is CID 1072 & How to Solve It?

What is CID 1072:

cid 1072 refers to a fault in the fuel level sensor circuit. inaccurate fuel readings can cause misfueling, poor fuel efficiency, or inaccurate fuel gauge readings.

‍

Why This Happens:

• faulty fuel level sensor.
  
• shorted or damaged wiring.
  
• corroded or loose connectors.
  
• fuel tank contamination.
  
• ecm failure to process data correctly.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. inspect the fuel level sensor for damage.
   
2. test the sensor’s resistance and voltage.
   
3. clean the fuel tank and replace any contaminated fuel.
   
4. replace the faulty sensor if needed.
   
5. reset ecm and verify correct fuel level readings.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• inspect fuel sensors during scheduled service.
  
• replace fuel filters and sensors at the recommended intervals.
  
• monitor sensor output through diagnostics.
  
• clue’s fuel management services track fuel level sensors to ensure accurate readings and smooth operations.
