Fuel Gage

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Safari and 2002 Chevrolet Astro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The IPC displays the fuel level as determined by the PCM. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the fuel level percent. The fuel gage defaults to empty if:

The PCM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the PCM.

When the IPC detects that the fuel level is less than 17 percent, the IPC illuminates the low fuel indicator.
