Neon L4-2.0L SOHC (1995)
Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sending Unit Voltage Too High
NAME OF CODE:
Fuel Level Sending Unit Volts Too High
WHEN MONITORED:
Ignition ON.
SET CONDITION:
The fuel level sensor signal circuit voltage at Powertrain Control Module (PCM) cavity 13 goes above a calculated value.
THEORY OF OPERATION:
The voltage at the fuel level sending unit sends a variable voltage to the powertrain control module to indicate fuel level. The purpose of this
feature is to prevent false setting of misfire and fuel systems monitor codes when the vehicle is operating a low fuel levels.
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
-
Open sensor signal circuit
-
Fuel level sending unit failure
-
Instrument cluster printed circuit board failure
-
Powertrain control module
