Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
Fuel gauge reads low or drops to empty in Park / Neutral (normal characteristic)
The fuel gauge may be inaccurate or drop to empty with the low fuel light on.
The condition is most apparent when the gauge is at or below the quarter tank mark.
How to tell
Low fuel warning
What to do
- Try to duplicate it by driving a short distance in reverse and stopping, shifting to park or neutral and then to drive.
- Note how the vehicle is being parked (on an incline, front of the vehicle up hill or down hill).
Caution: On an automatic transmission no buffering takes place in park or neutral; this is a normal characteristic and no repairs are necessary.
In the records
No record states work done for this cause.
