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.

Connect a fused jumper wire between connector terminals No. 1 (Black wire) and No. 3 (Blue/Red wire). If low fuel indicator illuminates, check fuel gauge sending unit.
