  1. To check overall function of fuel level sensor circuit, release fuel system pressure. See FUEL SYSTEM in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article. Remove fuel feed hose from fuel level sensor unit located under trunk liner.
    2. CAUTION: DO NOT use ECM ground terminals when measuring voltage.
  2. Connect a fuel hose to fuel level sensor unit. Place other end of hose into a suitable fuel container. Turn ignition off. Set voltmeter probes between ground and fuel level sensor signal circuit at ECM terminal No. 119 (Red/Blue wire) by backprobing. See Figure and Figure . Turn ignition on and monitor voltmeter.
  3. Using suitable equipment, drain 7.93 Gals. (30.0 L) of fuel from tank. Refill tank with drained fuel. Voltage should change more than .03 volt during draining and refilling. If voltage is not as specified, go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE  . If voltage is as specified, system is okay at this time.
