  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the left side fuel level sensor.
  2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Fuel Level Sensor - Left Tank voltage parameter is at 5.0 volts.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  3. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and ground. Verify the scan tool Fuel Level Sensor - Left Tank voltage parameter is at 0.0 volts.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the low reference circuit terminal D. Verify the scan tool Fuel Level Sensor-Left Tank voltage parameter is at 0.0 volts.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. Remove the fuel tank.
  6. Remove the fuel tank primary and secondary modules and inspect for the following conditions:
    • A clogged secondary fuel strainer and pick up
    • A clogged or restricted siphon jet pump
    • Broken, clogged or restricted flex tubes, primary fuel tank module
    • Broken, clogged, disconnected, or restricted fuel transfer tube inside tank
    • If you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary.
  7. If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the left/secondary fuel level sensor.

When to See a Mechanic

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

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