WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Concorde, and 2002 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Fuel level is monitored in 2 tests. Test one is with ignition on, the fuel level is compared to the previous key down after a 20 second delay. Test 2, the PCM monitors the fuel level at ignition on. In test one, if the PCM does not see a difference in fuel level of greater than 0.1 volt with ignition on the test will fail. In test 2, if the PCM does not see a change in the fuel level of .1765 over a set amount of miles the test will fail.
