Fuel Level Sensor:




The fuel sensor consists of the following components:

The PCM uses this information as a fuel level input for various diagnosis. In addition the PCM transmits the fuel level over the Class 2 communication circuit to the P cluster. This information is used for the IP gauge, and low fuel warning indicator if applicable.
