Fuel Supply System

Fuel Gauge Sending Unit Test

11-441  

Special Tools Required

Adjustable ring wrench 07WAA-0010100

NOTE: For the fuel gauge system circuit diagram, refer to the Gauges Circuit Diagram (see page 22-88).

  1. Check the No. 10 METER (75A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box before testing.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  3. Remove the rear seat cushion (see page 20-237).
  4. Remove the access panel from the floor.
  5. Disconnect the fuel pump 5P connector.
  6. Measure voltage between the fuel pump 5P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 with the ignition switch ON (II). There should be between 5 and 8 V.
  • If the voltage is as specified, go to step 7.
  • If the voltage is not as specified, check for:
  • an open in the YEL/BLK or BLK wire.
  • poor ground (G551).

  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  1. Install a 2 ohm; resistor between the fuel pump 5P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2, then turn the ignition switch ON (II).

  1. Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge indicates ''F''.
  • If the pointer of the fuel gauge does not indicate ''F'', replace the gauge.
  • If the gauge is OK, inspect the fuel gauge sending unit.

NOTE: The pointer of the fuel gauge returns to the bottom on the gauge dial when the ignition switch is OFF regardless of the fuel level.
