Check the cause
Physically check the fuel tank to confirm if the fuel level is actually low
Observe if the dash fuel gauge matches the physical fuel level. If the tank is full but the gauge reads empty, suspect a stuck float or a wiring issue
Repair steps
Refuel the vehicle
Add fuel to the vehicle's tank.
Cycle the power
Turn the key switch off, wait a moment, and turn the tractor power back on to allow the CCU to read the new fuel level and clear the code from the CommandCenter™ page.
Monitor
If the code persists after the tank has been filled and the power cycled, the fuel level sensor or its wiring harness may be faulty and require dealer-level diagnosis.
