Fuel Warning Light Does Not Work
With the ignition key on, the fuel reserve warning light does not come on when the tank enters the reserve level.
NOTE:
The message comes from the fuel level signal to the Body Control Module (BCM) and made available to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) through the CAN-B network.
The BCM also sends a fuel level sensor error message.
| 1 | CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC TOOL | Result OK | Result Not OK | Action |
| Connect the diagnostic scan tool to the DLC. Verify the absence of anomalies in the BCM. |
Continue to Step 2 | Sensor with open circuit, sensor DC, value incongruent / implausible with actual fuel level | Proceed as indicated by the diagnostic tool | |
| 2 | CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC TOOL | Result OK | Result Not OK | Action |
| With the diagnostic scan tool, test the functionality of the fuel reserve light through active diagnosis. | Continue to Step 3 | The light does not come on. | Replace instrument panel cluster | |
| 3 | CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR | Result OK | Result Not OK | Action |
| Check the operation of the fuel level sensor | Continue to Step 4 | Sensor not working. | Replace the fuel pump assembly | |
| 4 | CHECK ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT | Result OK | Result Not OK | Action |
| Check continuity / insulation of the circuits between the fuel level sensor and BCM. | Continue to Step 5 | Circuit fault / not insulated. | Restore circuit continuity / insulation | |
| 5 | CHECK PROPER OPERATION | Result OK | Result Not OK | Action |
| Verify that the fault is no longer present | Diagnostic complete | Anomaly persists | Replace the Body Control Module |
