Default Fuel Gauge Issue

Good Morning,

On my 2003 S Type V8, the fuel gauge reads as empty although the tank is not empty. I bought the car that way, so it has always read on empty. I am working on fixing a few things over the last few days and this has been troubling me since I bought the car. Any thoughts on where to start would be greatly appreciated.

You could look at BOTH fuel level sensors with ETM.
Determine if one or both are faulty or if the INSTPK is the problem.

Sorry for being so lazy...I opened the attachment as I should have before asking and I see Engineering Test Mode...
I will look through the attachments that you so graciously supplied and see what I can figure out. Thanks!
