Low Fuel Warning Light
- Park car on level ground.
- Drain fuel tank into an approved container. Then install the drain bolt with a new washer.
- Add less than 11 liters (2.9 U.S. Gal) of fuel and turn the ignition switch on. The low fuel warning light should come on within 4 minutes.
- Then add one more gallon of fuel approx. 4 L (1.1 U.S. Gal). The light should go out with 4 minutes.
- If the warning light did not come on in step 3 , remove the maintenance access cover and disconnect the 3-P connector from the fuel gauge sending unit. Connect the "C" (GRN/RED) terminal to the "B" (BLK/WHT) terminal with a jumper wire. See Fig 1 .
- If the light comes on, the problem is either the sending unit or its ground.
- If the light does not come on, the problem is an open in the GRN/RED wire to the gauge assembly, no power to the gauge or bad bulb.
