Reply With QuoteYep. It's pretty broad, it could mean check your temp, oil, etc... But
usually
means fuel.
My last Explorer would have 4 gallons left when that light came on, so I
knew
I had around 60 miles or so to get gas. It's good to know your minimum
MPG for such occasions if you know how much is in the tank when the light
comes on. As my granddad used to say, it's better to keep it in the full
range
than empty...

Low Fuel Light on '03 Explorer XLT Sport
Is the only low fuel warning light the 'CHECK GAGE' light on the
'03 Explorer XLT Sport? We were down to 2-2.5 gallons left
with no warning.
Is there an Explorer FAQ? I am new to the group.
Thanks!

The check guage light means, ain't it funny, check your guages....... is
temp high?, oil pressure low?, check all of your guages.... ALL of your
guages. The low fuel warning system is totally different.... TOTALLY
different. I can't comment more without an idea of what your problem is
(though I have a feeling)...... When you get around to it, you might want to
read your owners manual.........
AFAIK, the check guage light has no relationship to fuel level.

In case anyone is wondering, the fuel level guage is another "live" input to
the HEC.

Re: Low Fuel Light on '03 Explorer XLT Sport
That may be the case for his '03 (I thought Ford went to an actual Check
Gage light around '02 on the Explorer but maybe not the Sports). The Check
Gage light is definitely tied in to the fuel level though on all '95-'01
Explorers. My Check Gage light comes on when I have about 2 gallons left.
From page 10 of my '97 Owner's Guide:
"Check gage
Illuminates when the key is in the ON position and the engine coolant
temperature gauge, the engine oil pressure gauge and the fuel level gauge
need to be checked. Refer to Engine coolant temperature gauge, Engine oil
pressure gauge or Fuel gauge in the Instrumentation chapter for more
information."
