Low Fuel Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative low fuel warning lamp condition. If the problem being diagnosed is related to lamp accuracy, be
certain to confirm the problem is the with the low fuel warning lamp and not with the fuel gauge circuit. See Fuel Gauge in the Diagnosis and Testing. If
no fuel gauge problem is found, see Instrument Cluster in the Diagnosis and Testing.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, REFER TO AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS/AIR BAGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE.
FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
If the low fuel warning lamp fails to light during the bulb test (about two seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the On position), replace the low
fuel warning lamp bulb with a known good unit. If the indicator lamp still fails to operate, diagnosis of the fuel gauge sending unit and circuit, the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus should be performed with a DRB scan tool. For further
diagnosis of the low fuel warning lamp and the instrument cluster circuitry, see Instrument Cluster in the Diagnosis and Testing.
