ICC 000096.03 – Fuel Sender Voltage Above Normal, or Shorted to High Source
ICC 000096.03 (ICC 96.03)
Code: 000096.03
Shortcode: 96.03
Description:
This error code indicates that the fuel sender output voltage is above the normal operating range, suggesting an open circuit. This could be due to a wiring issue, a faulty fuel sender, or a connection problem within the system.
Reaction:
When this error is detected, the fuel gauge might display inaccurate readings, potentially leading to incorrect fuel level information for the operator.
Recommendations:
- Inspect Wiring and Connections:
- Check the wiring for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Ensure all connectors are properly seated and free of dirt or debris.
- Test the Fuel Sender:
- Use a multimeter to check the resistance of the fuel sender. Compare the readings to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Replace the fuel sender if it is found to be faulty.
- Verify ECU Input:
- Check the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) inputs for correct voltage levels.
- Ensure the ECU is functioning correctly and update its software if necessary.
Note:
This code is typically triggered by an electrical issue. Regular inspection and maintenance of the fuel system wiring can help prevent recurrence.
