Diagnostic Test

  1. ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE: Diagnose any CAN - B or CAN - C Communication DTCs before continuing.
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Is the DTC Active at this time?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. FUEL LEVEL SENSOR

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Fuel Pump Module harness connector.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. Using a fused jumper wire, jump the (A109) Fused B+ circuit to the (N4) Fuel Level Sensor No. 1 Signal circuit in the Fuel Pump Motor harness connector.

      Did the Fuel gauge level change from empty to full?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (A109) FUSED B+ CIRCUIT

    1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (A109) Fused B+ circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. (N4) FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the C1 Cluster harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit in the Fuel Pump Module harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. (N4) FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Measure the resistance of the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit from the Fuel Pump Module harness connector to the C1 Cluster harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  6. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Fuel Pump Module and the Instrument Cluster.
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Fuel Pump Module and the Instrument Cluster connectors.
    4. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
