Circuit Description

The body control module (PZM) determines the fuel level by calculating the resistance of the fuel level sender circuit. The PZM then sends the fuel level over the class 2 serial data line to the modules that require the data.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • DTC B0532 does not set if DTCs B1982 or B1983 are current.
    • The resistance across connector C1 terminals B12 and B11 is out of range.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The PZM sends a class 2 message to the PCM that the fuel level is too low.
    • The PZM sets B0532 as current.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The resistance across connector C1 terminals B12 and B11 is within range. The DTC changes to history.
    • The DTC clears after 50 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition no longer is present.
