  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Go To 4
CHECK THE BODY CONTROL MODULE FOR FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAULTS
1. With the scan tool, read DTCs in the BCM.
  Is the BCM setting any DTCs against the Fuel Level Sensor?
  
  Yes
  - Perform the diagnostic procedure in the BCM. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
  No
  - Replace and program the Body Control Module in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, BODY CONTROL (BCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
CHECK THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WIRING FOR AN OPEN OR SHORTED CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Fuel Level Sensor harness connector.
3. Disconnect the appropriate BCM harness connector.
4. Check the Fuel Level Sensor wires:
  - for an open condition.
  - for a short to voltage.
  - for a short to ground.
  - for a short to each other.
  Were any problems found with the wiring?
  
  Yes
  - Perform the appropriate repair of the wiring.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 5
REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND RETEST FOR DTC

4. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
  Is the DTC still active?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 6
  No
  - Replacing the Fuel Level Sensor repaired the fault.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
1. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:

  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
5. Connect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Connect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Connect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
9. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
10. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
