This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that your car's computer has noticed something wrong with the fuel mixture when the gas tank is almost empty. It's like when you're trying to make a recipe and you don't have enough of one ingredient, so it doesn't turn out right.
The engine control unit (ECU) detects a deviation in the expected air-fuel mixture ratio when the fuel level is low.
The P1314 code is triggered when the ECU identifies an imbalance in the air-fuel mixture, specifically when the fuel level is low. This could be due to incorrect fuel pressure, faulty sensors, or other related issues affecting the fuel delivery system.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor engine performance
• Increased fuel consumption
• Low fuel pressure
• Faulty fuel pump
• Clogged fuel filter

This code has been associated with vehicles that frequently run on low fuel, leading to fuel system stress.
Moderate – Addressing this code promptly can prevent further engine performance issues.
Driving with a faulty fuel mixture can lead to increased emissions and potential engine damage.
• Vehicle is running with low fuel.
• Engine is at operating temperature.
The fuel pump and fuel filter are typically located in or near the fuel tank.
Q: Can I drive with a P1314 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive for extended periods with this code, as it can lead to engine performance issues.
Q: Will refueling fix the P1314 code?
A: Refueling might temporarily resolve the issue, but it's important to check the fuel system for any underlying problems.
