Fuel Level Indicator

Range: ON/OFF
This data indicates what message is being sent from the BCM to the instrument cluster in order to control the low fuel level indicator illumination. When the fuel level has dropped to a point below 1/8 of a tank, ON is displayed. When the fuel level has risen above 1/4 of a tank, OFF is displayed

The BCM reads the fuel level sensor value in ohms (less than 59 ohms). The sensor is then filtered in order to prevent fuel gage slosh from prematurely turning the low fuel level indicator ON. The BCM sends a SPI data message to the instrument cluster commanding the sensor to illuminate the low fuel level indicator.
