Hi Cnguyen;  
I’m not sure what the Sovol Team will tell you, but on my side I have unplugged the filament run out sensor and I don’t use it.  
I’m not a big fan of this type of sensor as I have always experienced more troubles because of it.  
So my advise would be for you to do the same.

Thank you, Ciol.  
I unplugged the sensor and it works fine so far.
