Fuel Level Gauge

The Instrument Panel Cluster Control Module displays the fuel level based on the information from the ECM. The ECM converts the data from the fuel level sensors to a fuel level signal. The ECM sends the fuel level signal via serial data to the BCM. The BCM then sends the information via serial data to the Instrument Panel Cluster Control Module to display the fuel level. If the fuel level falls under 11% the Instrument Panel Cluster Control Module will illuminate the low fuel level indicator. The fuel gauge defaults to empty if:

• The ECM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
• The BCM detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
• The Instrument Panel Cluster Control Module detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.
