Veracruz fuel level sensor fault
Summary of the thread
A 2011 Hyundai Veracruz diesel exhibited a check engine light and stalling at idle, with a diagnostic scan indicating a fuel level sensor fault. The fuel cap was checked and found to be fine, leading to questions about a possible fuse issue. Despite normal fuel gauge readings, the problem was likely due to a malfunctioning fuel level sensor or related electronics. Professional diagnosis confirmed the sensor fault, which was resolved at a repair shop.

The fuel gauge seems to be acting normally, the needle moves smoothly and seems accurate, any other ideas?

Given your observations and the stored error, it is increasingly likely that the fuel level sensor itself is malfunctioning or there are underlying problems with the car electronics that manage the fuel sensor. It is advisable to take your Veracruz to a trusted workshop for professional diagnosis and repair to avoid potential fuel tank and car electronics related issues.

Thanks! Took it to the shop, and you were right – it was the fuel level sensor. 52€ later, and it's all sorted. Appreciate the advice!

A defective fuse is a plausible cause, given the symptoms you've described. However, considering the interplay between the fuel level sensor, the car dashboard readings, and the error code being stored, there could be additional factors at play. Do you notice any anomalies regarding the fuel gauge readings on your car dashboard?
