Component Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, remove the fuel level sender.
  2. Sweep the fuel level sensor through its full range of motion while measuring resistance between the signal terminal D and the low reference terminal C.
  3. Test for a minimum resistance value of 37 - 43 Ω and a maximum value of 245 - 255 Ω without any spikes or dropouts.
    • If minimum resistance is not 37 - 43 Ω, maximum resistance is not 245 - 255 Ω, or if there are any spikes or dropouts 

      Replace the fuel level sensor.

    • If minimum resistance is 37 - 43 Ω, maximum resistance is 245 - 255 Ω, and if there are no spikes or dropouts
