Default DIC problems

while driving the system dinged and low fuel message came on and fuel gauge dropped to empty. stopped and filled up and only took five gallons. about one hour later the gauge started working and all was fine for about 30 minutes. same thng happened except it did not clear itself. you can reset it all functions work except the fuel. maybe a loose connection? looking for suggestions.
