O que fazer

The car drives normally and the fuel system is working — only the indicator has failed, so you are not being told which fuel you are on.

The main practical risk is running a tank dry without warning, since you cannot see which supply is in use or how much is left in it. Until it is fixed, keep both fuels topped up rather than relying on the display.

Worth checking your fuel costs while it is out of action. If the vehicle has quietly reverted to petrol you will be paying considerably more per mile with nothing on the dashboard to say so, and that is often the first sign anyone notices.

On an aftermarket gas installation the changeover switch and its indicator are usually one unit, so this often turns out to be that assembly rather than anything in the vehicle's own wiring.

O que este código significa

A fault in the circuit driving the lamp that tells the driver which fuel the engine is currently running on.

On a bi-fuel vehicle that lamp is doing more work than an indicator light usually does, which is why the standard gives it a code of its own. An engine that can run on petrol or on gas switches between them automatically — on start-up, when the gas tank empties, when a fault appears, and sometimes under load. The driver has no other way to know which fuel is being consumed, because the engine sounds and behaves near enough identically on both.

The practical consequences of losing that information are ordinary but real: a gauge you cannot trust means running a tank empty without warning, and a vehicle that has quietly reverted to petrol will report fuel consumption and cost that make no sense until somebody notices. On a vehicle bought for the running-cost saving, that is the saving disappearing invisibly.

Nothing about the engine is affected. The lamp is an output; the fuel system carries on switching correctly whether or not anybody is told about it. This is a low-severity code in the honest sense — the vehicle is entirely sound and a piece of information has gone missing.

Causes are the ordinary ones for a lamp circuit: the bulb or its driver, the wiring, the connector, or the instrument cluster. On an aftermarket installation the changeover switch and its indicator are frequently one assembly, so a failure often takes the switch's own display with it.

Informação, não instrução

O CarGeek é uma referência, não um manual de serviço. Suas páginas são escritas a partir de fontes públicas e do que outras pessoas constataram, nunca a partir da documentação de serviço do fabricante, de modo que podem estar erradas ou incompletas para o seu veículo específico. Parte do que descrevem envolve risco real: alta tensão, combustível sob pressão, energia acumulada e peças quentes ou em movimento.

Antes de agir com base em qualquer orientação, peça a verificação de uma pessoa com formação técnica, seguindo o procedimento do próprio fabricante para o seu veículo. Nada aqui substitui esse procedimento.

O que faz valer a leitura:

  • O carro — marca, modelo, ano e motor. A mesma falha se comporta de forma diferente em cada um.
  • O que você mediu, não só o que trocou.
  • O que realmente resolveu — ou que nada resolveu, o que também vale saber.
