Diagnostic Test

  1. DTC IS ACTIVE 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Instrument Cluster (CCN).
    3. Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
    4. Cycle the ignition key off and on several times, leaving the ignition on for at least 10 seconds at a time.
    5. Start the engine.
    6. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
    7. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Is the status Active for this DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NO. 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Fuel Pump harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the Instrument Cluster (CCN) harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance between ground and the Fuel Level Sensor No. 1 Signal circuit in the Fuel Pump harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

  3. FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NO. 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND CIRCUIT 
    1. Measure the resistance between the Fuel Level Sensor No. 1 Signal circuit and the Ground circuit in the Fuel Pump harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NO. 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN CIRCUIT OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Measure the resistance of the Fuel Level Sensor No. 1 Signal circuit between the Fuel Pump harness connector and the Instrument Cluster (CCN) harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. FUEL LEVEL SENSOR 
    1. Connect the Instrument Cluster (CCN) connector.
    2. Turn the ignition on.
    3. With the scan tool, clear DTCs.
    4. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
      NOTE: The scan tool should display a Fuel Level Sensor high voltage or open circuit DTC with the Fuel Pump connector disconnected.

      Does the scan tool display the DTC(s) as described above?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  6. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (CCN) 
    1. Using the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Fuel Pump and the Instrument Cluster (CCN).
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
    4. Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
    5. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
    6. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
