Low Fuel Indicator Test
- Park vehicle on level surface. Drain fuel tank into an approved container. Using a NEW washer, install fuel tank drain plug. Add less than 2.2 gallons (8.2 liters) of fuel to fuel tank. Turn ignition on. If low fuel indicator does not illuminate within 4 minutes, go to next step. If low fuel indicator illuminates within 4 minutes, add about 1.1 gallons (4 liters) more fuel to fuel tank. If low fuel indicator goes out within 4 minutes, system is operating properly. If indicator does not go out, go to next step.
- Remove trunk floor panel and fuel tank access panel. Turn ignition off. Disconnect fuel gauge sending unit 3-pin connector. Connect a fused jumper wire between connector terminals No. 1 (Black wire) and No. 3 (Light Green/Red wire). If low fuel indicator illuminates, check fuel sending unit. If low fuel indicator does not illuminate, check for open in Light Green/Red wire between fuel sending unit and fuel gauge, for a bad ground connection or a blown bulb. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair as necessary.
