Fuel level shows negative number after car off #37

Hi ,

Great integration. I am testing it and found that when the car is turned off, the fuel level drops to a negative number.

Initially is thought it was because the sensors became unavailable, but after calling the fordpass.refresh_status or refreshing via the ford app the status remains like that.

After the car is started it show a correct value.

@emile-bodin Does the fuel gauge in your FordPass App reflect an empty tank when your vehicle is off? -5% to 105% is the range the vehicle reports. It's odd that it's actively reporting empty when off. I have not had this issue.

I am using 2 separate apps, "FordPass" and "FordPass Pro" I the first one there is no fuel information at all, in the pro version the fuel status is "Information not available"

So it seems its somthing that the ford api sends when the car is off.

Might be an idea to "remember" last fuel state, instead of reporting the "information not available" state

Could you please provide me the following information because as @petheridge says I also don't have this issue and the car returns the correct fuel amount with the engine off.

Out of interest does your car have an analog fuel gauge on the cluster rather than the new digital ones?

There were a bunch of communication issues, after applying the code change to reflect Europe and a sync via HA when my car was turned on and the fuel % was shown correctly, and most importantly it stayed ;)

I have upgraded to the newest release and readded the integration (after deleting the tokes) and resynced the status with the car turned on.

Have not seen the issues again. I think the ticket can be closed.

Thanks!
