WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 2007 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the fuel level sensor.
  2. Ignition ON, with the scan tool observe the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter. Verify the Fuel Tank Level remaining parameter is 98 percent or greater.
    • If the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter indicates a value less than 98 percent, test the fuel level sensor signal circuit for a short to ground. If the fuel level sensor circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  3. If all circuits tests normal, test or replace the fuel level sensor.
