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.)

    1. Is the measured resistance within specification ?

      YES  : --> Substitute with a known-good ECM/PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECM/PCM and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

      NO  : --> 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.
