Record by record

2 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

Symptom

Component named as the cause

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

    Fuel Gauge Accuracy—Preliminary Information

    1. 1Fault

      • The fuel gauge may be inaccurate or drop to empty (E) with the low fuel light coming on.
      • The condition is most apparent when the gauge is at or below the quarter (1/4) tank mark.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • On an automatic transmission no buffering of the fuel gauge takes place when the transmission is in park or neutral.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Try to duplicate it by driving a short distance in reverse and stopping (to make fuel slosh), shifting to park or neutral and then to drive.
      2. Note how the vehicle is being parked (on an incline, front of the vehicle up hill or down hill).

    3. 3Correction

      Caution

      • This is a normal characteristic and no repairs are necessary.

    Remedy
    This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have an inaccurate fuel gauge. Technician should drive the vehicle to duplicate the concern. The fuel gauge will have a tendency to falsely indicate a lower fuel level than what is actually present. The fuel gauge will take a few minutes to show the correct fuel level. On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission no buffering takes place when the transmission is in park or neutral. This is a normal characteristic and no repairs are necessary. On vehicles equipped with a manual transmission the fuel gauge is buffered in all gears and neutral. There is a timer which starts to count up when the clutch is depressed. When this timer reaches its calibrated value the buffering stops. This is a normal characteristic and no repairs are necessary.
