Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
A fuel gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This gauge is located on the left side of the instrument cluster, just left of the speedometer.
The gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree gauge scale on the cluster
overlay that reads left-to-right from E (or Empty) to F (or Full). An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Fuel is located on the cluster
overlay, directly above the hub of the gauge needle. An arrowhead pointed to the left side of the vehicle is imprinted on the cluster overlay next to the
Fuel icon on the gauge to provide the driver with a reminder as to the location of the fuel filler access.
The fuel gauge graphics are white against a black field except for two red graduations at the low end of the gauge scale, making them clearly visible
within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster illumination lighting with the
exterior lamps turned ON, the white text and graphics still appear white and the red graphics still appear red. The red gauge needle has internal optical
illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by Light Emitting Diode (LED) units soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The fuel gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
