Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the fuel level sensor.
- Ignition ON, with the scan tool observe the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter. Verify the Fuel Tank Level remaining parameter is 4 percent or less.
- If the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter indicates a value greater than 4 percent, test the fuel level sensor signal circuit for a short to ground. If the fuel level sensor circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits tests normal, test or replace the fuel level sensor.
