U1403





SYMPTOM
U1403 - IMPLAUSIBLE FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL

WHEN MONITORED
Ignition on.

SET CONDITION
The fuel level message the PCM is receiving is implausible. The circuit is continuously monitored.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- CAN B OPEN OR SHORTED
- CLUSTER MODULE
- FRONT CONTROL MODULE
- PCM

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Scan Tool Testing and Procedures

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Front Control Module isn't receiving a fuel level signal over CAN B from the Cluster Module. The FCM has to send the PCM a fuel level signal over CAN C. The signal the FCM sends over CAN C is implausible.
