P115A - Low Fuel Level - Forced Limited Power

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2007 Ford RV Cutaway, 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P115A - LOW FUEL LEVEL - FORCED LIMITED POWER

Description:  Fuel level information is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) on the communication link. If an excessively low fuel level input message is received by the PCM from the instrument cluster, the PCM limits the injection control pressure (ICP) and sets DTC P115A.
Possible Causes: 
  • Empty fuel tank
  • Fuel control module circuitry
  • Fuel control module
  • Instrument cluster
  • Powertrain control module (PCM)
Diagnostic Aids:  Monitor the FLI PIDs in key ON, engine running. A concern is present if the FLI percentage PID is at 25% fill and the FLI voltage PID is less than 0.90 volt with a non-matching fuel gauge or the FLI percentage PID is at 75% fill and the FLI voltage PID is greater than 2.45 volts with a non-matching fuel gauge.
