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.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST
