Diagnostic Test
- ACTIVE DTC NOTE: Diagnose any CAN - B and CAN - C Communication DTCs before continuing.
- Ignition on, engine not running.
- With a scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the DTC Active at this time?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
- FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Fuel Pump Module electrical harness connector.
- Ignition on, engine not running.
Did the Fuel Level gauge change from full to empty?
Yes
- Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Fuel Pump Module and the Instrument Cluster connectors. If OK, replace the Fuel Level Sensor.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 3
- (N4) FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the C1 Cluster harness connector.
- Ignition on, engine not running.
- Measure the voltage on the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit in the Fuel Pump Module harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the short to voltage in the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 4
- (Z910), (Z210) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to B+, probe (Z910) and (Z210) Ground circuits at the Fuel Pump Module harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go to step 5
No
- Repair the open in the (Z910) and (Z210) Ground circuits.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
- INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Fuel Pump Module and the Instrument Cluster.
- Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
- 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.
- Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were there any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Replace and program the Instrument Cluster per Service Information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
