Low Fuel Indicator Test

Park vehicle on level surface. Drain fuel from fuel tank into an approved container. Using a new washer, install fuel tank drain plug. Add less than 2.2 gallons (8.2 liters) of fuel to fuel tank. Turn ignition switch to ON position. If low-fuel indicator does not illuminate within 4 minutes, go to next step. If low-fuel indicator illuminates within 4 minutes, add approximately 1.1 gallon (4.1 liters) more fuel to fuel tank. If low-fuel indicator goes out within 4 minutes, system is operating properly. If indicator does not go out, go to next step.
Remove rear seat and fuel pump access panel. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect fuel gauge sending unit 3-pin connector. Connect a jumper wire between connector terminal "A" (Black/White wire) and terminal "C" (Blue/White wire). If low-fuel indicator illuminates, check sending unit or ground connection. If low-fuel indicator does not illuminate, check for open in Blue/White wire, no voltage to gauge assembly, or a blown bulb. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Repair as necessary.
