  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, observe the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter in the PCM Enhanced EVAP data list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter is greater than the specified value?
98% Go to Step 3  Go to Diagnostic Aids
  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect C106.
  3. Connect a 3-ampere fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor and the low reference circuit of the fuel level sensor on the male terminal side of the connector.
  4. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  5. With a scan tool, clear the DTCs.
  6. With a scan tool, observe the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter is less than the specified value?
4% Go to Step 6  Go to Step 4 
4 Test the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, for a high resistance, or for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 5 
5 Test the low reference circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, for a high resistance, or for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
6 Test the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, for a high resistance, or for a short to voltage between C106 and the fuel level sensor. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 7 
7 Test the low reference circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, for a high resistance, or for a short to voltage between C106 and the fuel level sensor. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 8 
8 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the fuel level sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 10 
9 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 11 
10 Replace the fuel level sensor. Refer to FUEL LEVEL SENSOR REPLACEMENT .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 12  -
