Low Fuel Indicator Test

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
