CAN B OPEN OR SHORTED
CLUSTER MODULE
FRONT CONTROL MODULE (FCM)
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Refer to PRE-DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE .

The Front Control Module isn't receiving a fuel level signal over CAN B from the Cluster Module. The FCM has to send the PCM a fuel level signal over CAN C. The signal the FCM sends over CAN C is implausible.

  1. 1) ACTIVE DTC Ignition on, engine not running. With a scan tool, View DTCs. Is the DTC Active at this time? Yes Go to 2) . No Refer to «INTERMITTENT CONDITION»(ref-288287-S02739760862008062000000) Diagnostic Procedure.
  2. 2) CAN B BUS HARDWARE DTCS ALSO ACTIVE With a scan tool check for DTCs in the FCM. Are any CAN B Hardware related DTCs active at this time? Yes Refer to «DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING»(ref-288232-S40396979612008062000000) for the appropriate diagnostic procedures. No Go to 3) .
  3. 3) (N4) FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the C1 Cluster harness connector. Disconnect the Fuel Pump Module harness connector. Ignition on, engine not running. Measure the voltage on the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit in the Fuel Pump Module harness connector. Is there any voltage present? Yes Repair the short to voltage in the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) . No Go to 4) .
  4. 4) (N4) FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND Turn the ignition off. Measure the resistance between ground and the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit in the Fuel Pump Module harness connector. Is the resistance below 100 ohms? Yes Repair the short to ground in the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) . No Go to 5) .
  5. 5) (N4) FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN Measure the resistance of the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit from the Fuel Pump Module harness connector to the C1 Cluster harness connector. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) . No Repair the open in the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) .
