Can the SoE or other software recalibrate the fuel guage on the VZ, after replacing the fuel sender unit.

VX Commodore wagon
I have this or a similar issue, VX wagon with LS1

Replaced my fuel pump/ sender about a year ago, and ever since, fuel gauge operates normally - until I get to a bit below half a tank, at which point it drops slower until it gets to a bit over quarter, and wont go any further. Low fuel light never comes on (except on startup) even if I have run it near empty. Did so the other day, filled car right up, took 74.8 litres, yet gauge still showing just over 1/4 before I did. I believe these are a 75 litre tank?

I have the SOE package, if I can recalibrate the sender with that, would be very helpful

I'd first test the resistive values of the sender. Could be unlucky enough to have a dicky one?

Didn't think SOE writes/stores anything besides sending clear codes.

VT/VX had **** fuel gauge calibrations, every single VT/VX i've plugged into has needed updating, havent found a VY/VZ yet that hasnt matched body diagnostics for the fuel calibrations.

Also the VT/VX had 2 different voltage fuel senders 12 and 18 plus people tend to have a habit/dodgy sales person putting super 6 units into the v8s etc cause they have excess stock.
