Key ON Fueling Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The key ON fueling mode (approximately 60 seconds to read empty [E] to full [F]) requires the following conditions be met:
- The transaxle is in PARK or NEUTRAL.
- The ignition is in RUN.
- At least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity must be added to the fuel tank.
In key ON fueling mode, a 30 second timer activates after the transaxle is put into the PARK or NEUTRAL position. When the 30 second time has elapsed and at least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity has been added, the fuel gauge response time is 60 seconds to read from empty (E) to full (F). When the transaxle is shifted out of PARK or NEUTRAL, the fuel gauge strategy reverts to the anti-slosh mode. The key ON fueling mode prevents slow to read full events from happening if the customer refuels the vehicle with the ignition in RUN.
