Acura RL. Manual - part 29

Enable Conditions

ENABLE CONDITIONS

Malfunction Threshold

The change in the fuel level sensor output is 3.5% or less.

Driving Pattern

Drive for the specified mileage under Enable Conditions without refueling. (Turning the ignition switch off
is acceptable.)



Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the indicator

When a malfunction is detected, the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the PCM memory. The
MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC

The DTC and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by
disconnecting the battery.

Fig. 83: Fuel Level Sensor (Low Voltage) - Circuit Diagram

General Description

The fuel level sensor (fuel gauge sending unit) is incorporated with the fuel pump and installed in the fuel
tank. Using a built-in potentiometer and float, it converts the movement of the float into electrical signals as
an output that corresponds to fuel level variations in the fuel tank. The fuel level, which is indicated by the
gauge control module, is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) via the controller area network
(CAN). If the PCM detects a signal from the fuel level sensor (fuel gauge sending unit) below a
predetermined value for a set time or more, it detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Fig. 84: Fuel Level Sensor (High Voltage) - Circuit Diagram

General Description

The fuel level sensor (fuel gauge sending unit) is incorporated into the fuel pump and installed in the fuel
tank. Using a built-in potentiometer and float, it converts the movement of the float to electrical signals that
correspond to fuel level variations, and it measures the remaining fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel level, which
is read by the gauge control module, is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) via the controller area
network (CAN). If the PCM detects a signal voltage from the fuel level sensor (fuel gauge sending unit)
