Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 2007 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the fuel level sensor. Install a signal generator and instrument panel tester between the signal circuit and the low reference circuit.
- Ignition ON, vary the resistance on the signal generator from 40-250 ohms. Verify that the scan tool Fuel Level Sensor parameter displays the correct voltage levels as the resistance is varied from 40 - 250 ohms. Refer to Fuel Level Specifications .
- If the fuel level sensor voltage is incorrect, test the signal circuit and the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fuel level sensor.
