Gauges Symptom Troubleshooting - Fuel gauge indication does not rise

NOTE:
  • When refueling, the gauge control module shifts from the normal mode to the "refueling mode," moving the fuel gauge indicator only after it detects that 5 liters (approximately 1.25 U.S. gallon) or more of fuel have been added.
  • The fuel gauge indication may not rise when refueling a small quantity of fuel and may not shift to the refueling mode.
