I need the code to better answer that, but if I'm right the code is detection of the low level and setting the both lights off.
Now here is what bugs me. The CEL is all about emissions. What in the world does the low fuel level sensor have to do with emissions.
We did one like this a few months back. If I didn't experience it, I wouldn't have believed it.
