2004 Saab 9-3 convertible. Consumer states issues with fuel tank and sensor the consumer stated the engine light illuminated as well as the greenbox malfunction light due to the vehicle not having the latest software. So, the dealer had to perform the sps of the transmission control module to update to the newest software. The consumer was informed that because he ran the vehicle on low fuel, it shorted out the fuel sensor.

The gas gauge fluctuates from filled to empty, randomly, even though the tank is full every time the tank is filled.

Fuel gauge is normal. I fill the car up completely and then the fuel gauge light comes on and the needle drops to empty. This happens randomly even when the car is filled with fuel.

Everytime I fill the gas tank to full and I start driving (esp. On a highway), the fuel gauge drops to empty--even though it is full. The, I have to stop the car and turn it on several times before the fuel gauge goes back up to full again.
