YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Replace combination meter. Refer to See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier\Service and Repair\Removal and Replacement.
2.CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Check the fuel level sensor signal circuit. Refer to See: Component Tests and General Diagnostics\Fuel Level Sensor Signal Circuit\Diagnosis Procedure.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT
Perform a unit check for the fuel level sensor unit. Refer to See: Component Tests and General Diagnostics\Fuel Level Sensor Signal Circuit\Component Inspection.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4
NO >> Replace fuel level sensor unit. Refer to See: Powertrain Management\Fuel Delivery and Air Induction\Fuel Pump\Service and Repair.
4.CHECK FLOAT INTERFERENCE
Check that the float arm does not interfere or bind with any of the components in the fuel tank.
Is the Inspection result normal?
