  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, observe one of the following fuel level parameters:
    • Fuel Level Sensor Rear Tank parameter in the powertrain control module (PCM) Enhanced EVAP data list - gas only.
    • Fuel Level Sensor Rear Tank parameter in the PCM Fuel data list - 6.6L diesel only.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Fuel Level Sensor Rear Tank parameter is greater than the specified value?
4.5 V Go to Step 3  Go to Diagnostic Aids
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect C101.
  3. Connect a 3-ampere fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the secondary fuel level sensor and the low reference circuit of the secondary fuel level sensor on the female terminal side of the connector.
  4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  5. With a scan tool, observe the Fuel Level Sensor Rear Tank parameter.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Fuel Level Sensor Rear Tank parameter is less than the specified value?
0.5 V Go to Step 6  Go to Step 4

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
