Fuel Gage
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the fuel level as determined by the powertrain control module (PCM). The IPC receives a GMLAN message from the body control module (BCM) indicating the fuel level volume. The fuel gage defaults to E (empty) if:
- The PCM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
- The IPC detects a loss of GMLAN communications with the BCM.
When the fuel level is less than 14 percent, the low fuel indicator illuminates.
