Component Inspection

  1. IG "OFF".
  2. Disconnect Fuel Level Sensor harness connector.
  3. Measure the resistance between terminal 1 and 3 of Fuel Level Sensor harness connector.

    (Component side) (Measure the resistance while changing the float position.)

  4. Is the measured resistance within specification?

    YES 

    1. Substitute with a known-good ECM and check for proper operation.

      If the problem is corrected, replace ECM and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    NO 

    1. Substitute with a known-good Fuel Level Sensor and check for proper operation.

      If the problem is corrected, replace Fuel Level Sensor and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
