Service fuel system!!!
Hi everyone, I had a check fuel system or service fuel system message come up last night while stuck in traffic for about 3 hours. The gas guage had been on 1/2 full but went all the way down to 0 and message popped up then check engine light came on. I killed the car and waited a few then restared and all was well for about 5 min then did it again. This happened 3 times then just went away. I am not sure what is up but I did make sure the gas cap was tight. My car is a 05 if anyone has seen this please let me know.

Shouldn't be a problem. If it ever sticks to zero, just reset the ECU, and it will likely come back (pull battery cable for 10 seconds).

Thanks!!!
Thanks I am taking her to the dealer on Friday for an oil change and will have them look at it. Just freaked me out because we were north of Austin and needed to make it home to San Antonio. I think it is something minor but didn't know if I might have got bad fuel or something else???

If you do get stuck like that and really need to know how much gas you have...just do the battter disconnect and it will pop back up. Easy fix though, dealer can knock it out in 5 minutes.

I was in that situation. My pcm was locked on the previous tune, and I went from LSedit to HP Tuners, so I had to buy new ECM and TCM anyway, and had a friend hit the new computers with the latest GM software... the 2 new computers are only about $400 total, so no biggie.
