Honda HR-V (2015-2021) Service Manual / Accessories & Equipment / Gauges - Testing & Troubleshooting / Symptom Troubleshooting / Gauges Symptom Troubleshooting - Fuel Gauge Indication Does Not Rise

Fuel gauge indication does not rise

NOTE:

  • When refueling, the gauge control module shifts to the "refueling mode," moving the fuel gauge indicator only after it detects that 5 liters (approximately 1.3 U.S. gallon) of fuel have been added.
  • The fuel gauge indication may not rise when refueling a small quantity of fuel and the control mode does not shift to refueling mode.

1. DTC check:

  1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
  2. Check the low fuel indicator.

Does the low fuel indicator flash?

YES

Check for DTCs. If any DTCs are indicated, do the indicated DTC's troubleshooting. If no DTCs are indicated, replace the gauge control module.

NO

Go to step 2.

2. Fuel gauge operation check:

  1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
  2. Do the gauge self-diagnostic function.

Is the fuel gauge OK?

YES

Go to step 3.

NO

Replace the gauge control module.

3. Fuel tank visual check:

  1.  Raise the vehicle on a lift.
  2.  Check the fuel tank for damage.

Is the fuel tank OK?

YES

Go to step 4.

NO

Replace the fuel tank - Refer to: Fuel Tank Removal and Installation (AWD), or Fuel Tank Removal and Installation (KA/KC).

4. Fuel gauge sending unit check:

  1. Test the fuel gauge sending unit - Refer to: Fuel Gauge Sending Unit Test (2WD), or Fuel Gauge Sending Unit Test (AWD).

Is the fuel gauge sending unit OK?

YES

Confirm the control method of the fuel gauge.

NO

Replace the fuel gauge sending unit - Refer to: Fuel Tank Unit Removal and Installation (2WD), or Fuel Tank Unit Removal and Installation (AWD).
