3.2 gal); combustion misfire, oxygen sensor and
fuel system malfunctions could occur. In these
cases the malfunction "Fuel tank level too low"
is stored in DTC memory.
The fuel tank level signal is monitored by the
Engine Control Module (ECM).

Rough road condition signal, checking


ABS control module with ABS/EDL

Notes:

Misfires can result in malfunctions such as
"Combustion misfire" being recorded in DTC
memory due to road wheel malfunctions.
If the ABS control module recognizes a free
turning wheel, it generates a rough road signal.
If the Engine Control Module (ECM) recognizes
the rough road signal, misfire recognition is
switched off in the ECM.
The rough road signal is created to check
whether DTC 18014 "Rough Road Spec Engine
Torque ABS-SG Electrical Malfunction" is
stored in DTC memory. The "Combustion
misfire" malfunction results from this signal and
can be ignored.
The rough road signal is monitored by the
ECM.
