Fuel Gage Inaccurate or Inoperative
FUEL GAGE INACCURATE OR INOPERATIVE
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
- Verify that the fuel level is in the same range as the customer concern.
- For intermittent diagnosis, refer to Diagnostic Aids for Circuit Testing and Wiring Repair procedures.
- Refer to Fuel Level Specifications in order to verify the correct readings for the fuel level sensor. The Fuel Level Sensor voltage parameter is available on the scan tool in the powertrain control module (PCM) evaporative emission (EVAP) data list.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Steps 1 - 5:
Steps 6 - 13:
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
3. This step tests for a high resistance in the signal circuit and the low reference circuit of the fuel level sensor.
13. DTCs will set in the PCM when you perform this diagnostic table.
