Default Weird problem after battery jump...

hey guys, I have a strange problem with my 01Gs300, last night i went to Auto Start my car....it turned on, but i noticed my high beams were on as well as my stock HIDs....seemed weird so I drove the car to the end of my driveway....realized i forgot my wallet inside so i turned car off went inside then came back out and my car was COMPLETELY dead....I was like WTF so I got a jump....nothing I found out it was my yellow top that was completely drained...I put in another battery and now everything is fine again... EXCEPT my fuel gauge says I have a FULL tank...when it should be half way full....What should i do I have check fuses already, should I try resetting my ECU? Thanks for any answers....

Fill it up, and see if it starts going down after a hundred miles or so

Default That's not so weird. Just burn off 5 gallons in normal driving, and then fill the...

....car up again. The sending unit will reset (perhaps even in the first 100 miles) and register the proper fuel amount.
