  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, observe one of the following fuel level parameters:
    • Fuel Level Sensor parameter in the powertrain control module (PCM) Enhanced EVAP data list - gas only.
    • Fuel Level Sensor parameter in the PCM Fuel data list - 6.6L diesel only.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Fuel Level Sensor parameter is greater than the specified value?		 4.5 V Go to Step 3  Go to Diagnostic Aids

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect C101.
  3. Connect a 3-ampere fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor and the low reference circuit of the fuel level sensor on the female terminal side of the connector.
  4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  5. With a scan tool, observe the Fuel Level Sensor parameter.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Fuel Level Sensor parameter is less than the specified value?		 0.5 V Go to Step 6  Go to Step 4 
4 Test the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, for a high resistance, or for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 5 
5 Test the low reference circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, for a high resistance, or for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
6 Test the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, for a high resistance, or for a short to voltage between C101 and the fuel level sensor. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 7 
7 Test the low reference circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, for a high resistance, or for a short to voltage between C101 and the fuel level sensor. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 8 
8 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the fuel level sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 10 
9 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the PCM. Refer Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 11 
10 Replace the fuel level sensor. Refer to the following procedures:
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 12  -
11 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 12  -
12
  1. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.
Does the DTC reset?		 - Go to Step 2  System OK
