Here is an excerpt from the Helm's service manual:

1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Park the vehicle on level ground.
3. Drain the fuel into an approved container. Reinstall the fuel tank drain bolt with a new washer.
4. Add less than 4 Liters (1.1 US Gallons) of fuel and turn the ingnition switch ON (II). The low fuel indicator light should come on within four minutes.

- If the light comes on within four minutes, go to step 8.
- If the light DOES NOT come on within four minutes, go to step 5.

5. Remove the access panel from the floor (below the rear seat).
6. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the fuel tank sending unit 3P connector.
7. Connect the fuel tank sending unit 3P terminals No. 1 (BLK) and No. 3 (GRN/YEL)with a jumper wire.

- If the light comes on, replace the fuel gauge sending unit.
- If the light DOES NOT come on, check for an open in the GRN/YEL wire between the fuel guage sending unit and the fuel gauge, a blown bulb or a loose ground (G552, located in the driver's side door sill under the carpet)
8. Add 4 Liters (1.1 US Gallons) of fuel, the light should go off within four minutes.

I thought all ex/si clusters had low fuel lights.

spooncivic1

mine doesnt, and neither do any of my friends, the JDM ones do though..

JDM-EJ1

I have a USDM stock EX cluster, and I don't have a low fuel light. My girlfriends 90 accord lx has a low fuel light.

01SSAP1

Odd I thought all honda's had low fuel lights.

My 00 SiR Does

My 90 Prelude did.

Maybe they just put it in the higher end cars.

It is not the most reliable thing is the world though neither is the fuel gauge I use my trip meter to judge how much gas I have left.

Yeah, My ex cluster has one but it doesn't light up until I have almost an empty tank.

My 00 does. It came on this morning actually. I'll have to fill up in a couple of days

my 98 dx doesnt. I would like one though. My ex cluster has a place for it but it just doesnt light up. Ever. I tried and went wayy below red.

Does your DX cluster have a tach? I thought all 96 and up came with a low fuel light... although I'm not 100% about the ones without tachs...

My 1992 Integra had one, my 1997 Acura 1.6EL (same as civic ex) has one...

my 92hatch si doesnt have one also.

K I T T

I just swapped a JDMeg9 cluster on my hatch and it has a low fuel light but it doesn't work. Hope can make it work.

coconutsoldier

My VX doesn't, and old Honda fuel gauges suck dick.
I have almost ran out of gas a few times because of them.

AGENT 99

My 98dx has a tach only because I swapped a ex cluster in. But it came from the factory withOUT a tach.

You could probably get a EX fuel level sending unit and wire it up, but I doubt that would really be worth it... too much work and money

welli been havein this problem for a while finally i did this ... i jumped wire the blak and grn/yel and finally the light work ... so now i would have to change the fuel gauge sending unit ?? how much would that go for?? is that the piece the wires go to? if so .. thats gonna be a bitch to take out ... anyone???

I have a 97 Civic HX and it has a low fuel light in the cluster, but it doesn't come on when im low on fuel or even when you first start the car and the rest of the dash lights come on for a second or two. Does anybody know why that is?

Thanks

BLUE EH3

I will do once the summa is here
