April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

Diagnostic Procedure

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect fuel level sensor harness connector located under trunk liner. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and fuel level sensor harness connector terminal No. 5 (Red/Blue wire). See Figure . If battery voltage exists, go to step  3 . If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step.
  2. Check the following:
    • Check for poor connection at Super Multiple Junction (SMJ) harness connector M141 terminal 48V (Red/Blue wire). See Figure and Figure .
    • Check Black, 20-pin joint connector No. 15 (connector M124). Connector M124 is taped to main harness under right instrument panel speaker. See Figure and Figure .
    • Check for open or short in Red/Blue wire between fuel level sensor and instrument cluster harness connector terminal No. 30 (connector M42). See Fig 1 .

    Repair as necessary.

  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect instrument cluster harness connectors. Check continuity between fuel level sensor harness connector terminal No. 6 (Black wire) and instrument cluster harness connector terminal No. 29 (Black/Yellow wire). See Fig 1 . Continuity should exist. Also, check circuit for short to ground and short to voltage. If problem is found, go to next step. If circuit is okay, go to step  5 .
  4. Check the following:
    • Check for poor connection at Super Multiple Junction (SMJ) harness connector M141 terminal 49V (Black/Yellow wire). See Figure and Figure .
    • Check Black, 20-pin joint connector No. 15 (connector M124). Connector M124 is taped to main harness under right instrument panel speaker. See Figure and Figure .
    • Check for open or short between fuel level sensor and instrument cluster.

    Repair as necessary.

  5. Disconnect ECM harness connector. See Figure . Check continuity of the following:
    • Red/Blue wire between fuel level sensor harness connector terminal No. 5 and ECM harness connector terminal No. 119.
    • Black wire between fuel level sensor harness connector terminal No. 6 and ECM harness connector terminal No. 107.

    See Figure . Continuity should exist. Also, check circuits for short to ground and short to voltage. If problem is found, go to next step. If circuits are okay, go to step  7 .

  6. Check the following:
    • Check for poor connection at Super Multiple Junction (SMJ) harness connector F105 terminal 17T (Red/Blue wire) and 18T (Black wire). See Figure and Figure .
    • Check Black, 20-pin joint connector No. 15 (connector M124). Connector M124 is taped to main harness under right instrument panel speaker. See Figure and Figure .
    • Check for open or short between fuel level sensor and ECM.

    Repair as necessary.

  7. Measure resistance between fuel level sensor/FTT sensor assembly terminals No. 5 and 6 as shown in illustration. See Figure . If resistance is as specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, replace fuel level sensor.
  8. No problem is indicated at this time. Problem may be intermittent. See INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article.
