id0102f3156600

DTC P115A:00

Low fuel level—forced limited power
DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors the fuel level of the fuel tank using the fuel gauge signal from the instrument cluster. If the total fuel injection amount calculated by the PCM after the fuel amount falls below the E-line exceeds the threshold, the PCM determines that the fuel level is low.
Diagnostic support note
•  The MIL does not illuminate.
•  FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is not available.
•  The DTC is not stored in the PCM memory.
Note
•  The vehicle acceleration performance decreases by the PCM fail-safe function, when the PCM stores this DTC.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Low fuel level
•  Fuel gauge (in instrument cluster) malfunction
•  Fuel gauge sender unit malfunction
•  PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

•  Start the engine and warm it up completely.
•  Perform the DTC Reading Procedure.
•  Is the DTC P115A:00 present?
Note

If any DTC is not stored:
•  DTC troubleshooting completed (the cause of this DTC is low fuel level).
―  Go to Step 4.
3
REINSPECT WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS LOW FUEL LEVEL OR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
•  Refill the fuel till fuel level is above 9 L {2 US gal, 2 lmp gal}.
•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Refill the fuel above 9 L {2 US gal, 2 lmp gal}.
•  Start the engine and warm it up completely.
