DTC Detection Logic

Driving long distances naturally affect fuel gauge level.

This diagnosis detects the fuel gauge malfunction of the gauge not moving even after a long distance has been driven.

The output signal of the fuel level sensor does not change within the specified range even though the vehicle has been driven a long distance.
