Fuel Gauge

Fuel gauge receives fuel level resistance from fuel level sensor, part of the fuel pump module assembly. To prevent fuel gauge pointer from fluctuating as a result of excessive movement of fuel in fuel tank, fuel indicator module provides a delay to fuel gauge. If fuel level is low, resistance in fuel level sensor will be low, causing the gauge to indicate empty (E). When fuel level is high, resistance in fuel level sensor is high, and gauge indicates full (F). A new fuel gauge and fuel indicator module must be installed together. Fuel indicator module also turns on low fuel indicator light when fuel gauge shows approximately 1/6 of a tank of fuel remaining or less.
