Wire for fuel level signal, checking
 
     
Notes:  
     
The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the 
fuel level signal from the instrument cluster. 
     The processed signal enters at terminal 30 of 
the ECM and is used to determine the cause of 
certain recognized malfunctions (e.g. 
combustion misfires).

Wire for crash signal, checking
 
      The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the 
crash signal ("Crash shut-off was triggered") from 
the airbag control module.  
      When the airbag control module sends the crash 
signal to the ECM (during an accident or when 
output DTM is being performed for the airbag 
system), the ECM switches the Fuel Pump (FP) 
off. This means that the engine will stop running 
but can be started again afterward (e.g. to 
remove vehicle from danger).

to ECM, do not connect ECM   Page 24
