Pinpoint Test Z: The Low Fuel Indicator Is Never Or Always On
- Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
See Low Fuel Indicator. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description .
Possible Sources
- Fuel gauge concern
- IPC
Visual Inspection and Pre-checks
- If the low fuel indicator is never on, verify the DTE is less than 50 km (30 miles) DTE (without MyKey® key) or 80 km (50 miles) DTE (with MyKey® key) before beginning diagnostics.
- If the low fuel indicator is always on, verify the DTE is greater than 50 km (30 miles) DTE (without MyKey® key) or 80 km (50 miles) DTE (with MyKey® key) before beginning diagnostics.
- Z1 CHECK THE FUEL GAUGE OPERATION
- Ignition ON.
- Verify the fuel gauge operates correctly and there are no customer concerns with the fuel gauge.
Does the fuel gauge operate correctly without any customer concerns related to fuel gauge indication?
Yes GO to Z2 No GO to Pinpoint Test B - Z2 CONFIRM THE CURRENT DTE (DISTANCE TO EMPTY)
- Verify the DTE range.
Is the DTE range at 120 km (75 miles) (with MyKey® key), 80 km (50 miles), 40 km (25 miles), 20 km (10 miles) or 0 km (0 miles)?
Yes If the low fuel warning indicator is always on, the system is operating correctly at this time based on the current DTE range. If the low fuel warning indicator is never on, INSTALL a new IPC. Refer to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) . No If the low fuel warning indicator is always on, INSTALL a new IPC. Refer to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) . If the low fuel warning indicator is never on, the system is operating correctly at this time based on the current DTE range.
