Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig 10 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor:
[1][2]FUEL LEVEL SENSOR-PCM INPUT
The fuel level sensor (fuel gauge sending unit) sends a signal to the PCM to indicate fuel level. The purpose of this feature is to prevent a false setting of misfire and fuel system monitor trouble codes if the fuel level is less than approximately 15 percent of its rated capacity. It is also used to send a signal for fuel gauge operation via the PCI bus circuits.
