Low Fuel Indicator Test

  1. Park vehicle on level surface. Drain fuel into an approved container. Using a new washer, install fuel tank drain plug. Add less than 2.3 gallons (8.2 liters) of fuel to fuel tank. Turn ignition switch to ON position. 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 switch to OFF position. Disconnect fuel gauge sending unit 3-pin connector. Connect a fused jumper wire between connector terminal No. 1 (Black wire) and terminal No. 3 (Light Green/Red wire). If low fuel indicator illuminates, check fuel gauge sending unit. If low fuel indicator does not illuminate, check for open in Light Green/Red wire between fuel gauge sending unit and fuel gauge. Also check for a bad ground connection or a blown bulb.
