Fuel Gage

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the fuel level as determined by the PCM/ECM. The IPC receives a serial data message from the body control module (BCM) indicating the fuel level volume. The fuel gage defaults to empty (E) if:

• The PCM/ECM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
• The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.

When the fuel level is less than a certain low percentage, LOW FUEL message displays in the driver information center (DIC).
