    Default Contact dealer/ very low fuel. computer wont read

    so I was driving home last Thursday and got a check engine light. after scanning for codes I got a faulty cam shaft position sensor error. A quick trip to autozone and about 5minutes worth of work and the new sensor was in. when I went to turn on the car I received a very low fuel and contact dealer alert. I received the same alert that was cleared about a month ago by disconnecting the computer. I was unable to clear it this time by doing the same or by disconnecting the battery. Ive checked all the fuses and haven't found any that were blown. I ended up buying another computer that was vin matched. I went to upload my tune after installing the new computer and am still getting the same alerts. any thoughts or tips would be appreciated.

    which computer? ECU or BCM

    This is probably not a ECU issue. Before you do anything - unlock the car - with a multi-meter check your battery voltage at the terminals. Hopefully it's 12V+.

    Then start the car - do the same check at the terminals. Should be up over 13V DC.

    If you have a soft battery systems can undervolt which makes computers do odd things. This is a common issue.

    I don't know how I missed this, but it's possible you have a bad ground.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!
