Gauges Symptom Troubleshooting - Fuel gauge indication does not rise

NOTE: 

• When refueling, the gauge control module shifts to the "refueling mode," moving the fuel gauge indicator only after it detects that 5 liters (approximately 1.3 U.S. gallon) of fuel have been added.
• The fuel gauge indication may not rise when refueling a small quantity of fuel and the control mode does not shift to refueling mode.
