You want about five gallons, of water, per our mfg, in the black tank, after flushing, of clean water.
Our gauges all work well. Maybe because we always flush the tanks and keep them clean in storage. Just dumping can lead to deposits building up.
Should not be any lights showing even with five gallons, unless it is a real small tank. Then perhaps 2 gallons, of clean into the empty tank. If you don't have a flushing system they are available, also those connectors for sewer connections, with a hose hookup to flush that way. If the tank show empty with nothing even residual water in it then the sensor is working but maybe still needs cleaning or moving. Calgon water softener, in the black tank and gray tank will help with keeping deposits from forming. Then again none of this may apply.
