- Disconnect the powertrain control module (PCM) connector C2
(VIN-9 only).
- Disconnect connector C310 located under the rear passenger seat.
- Use a J 35616-A
in
order to connect 1 red lead of a J 33431-C
to cavity 1 of connector C310 (floor harness
side).
- Connect the other lead to ground.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Set the resistance dial of the tester to the following values:
Does the fuel gauge read the specified values?
| E (120 ohms)
1/2 (32 ohms)
F(3 ohms)

- Disconnect the J 33431-C
.
- Disconnect the IP cluster assembly connector C3.
- Connect a J 39200
from the IP cluster assembly connector C3 terminal 9
to the fuel gauge sending unit connector cavity.
- Measure the resistance.
Is the resistance more than the specified value?

- Inspect for an open in the BLK wire from the fuel gauge
sending unit to ground G400.
- If the wire is OK, replace the fuel gauge sending unit. Refer
to
Fuel Level Sensor Replacement
in Engine Controls.
