Indicators

The indicator lights are controlled by different conditions set forth in their associated Systems. See the associated system for the indicator light circuit description.

Low Fuel Warning Light
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel level by the resistance level in the fuel tank unit. The PCM then uses this information to provide ground to the low fuel warning light illuminating it when the fuel level is low.

Bulb Check
With the starter switch in ON or START battery voltage is applied through the METER fuse CB-4 to the indicator lights. The generator will provide ground to the circuit until the engine is running. The lights go on to test the light bulbs and then go off after the engine is started.
