Diagnostic Aids
Float Level | Float Position mm (in.) | Resistance (ohms) |
|---|---|---|
F | 64.5 (2.53) ± 3 (0.12) | 15.0 ± 1 |
1/2 (B) | 11.6 (0.45) ± 3 (0.12) | 54.7 ± 3 |
E | 52.7 (2.07) ± 3 (0.12) | 107.0 ± 1 |
|
Important: In reference to these specifications: all measurements must be made from the baseline measurement of A = 12 mm (0 in.). | ||
Step | Action | Values | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Did you review the and perform the necessary inspections? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic Starting Point - Instrument Panel, Gages and Console |
2 | Verify that the fuel gage is inaccurate or inoperative. Does the fuel gage operate normally? | -- | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems | Go to Step 3 |
3 |
Does the gage read empty? | -- | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 6 |
4 | With the fuel sender connector still disconnected and the key still in the ON position. Connect terminals 2 and 3 on the vehicle side of the connector. Does the fuel gage read full? | -- | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 6 |
5 |
Does the fuel gage indicate the appropriate reading at the specified resistance values? | -- | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections | Go to Step 8 |
6 | Test for an open or high resistance in the low fuel indicator circuits between the fuel level sensor and in Instrument panel cluster. Does an open or high resistance condition exist? | -- | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 9 |
7 | Repair the open or high resistance in the low fuel indicator circuit between the fuel level sensor and in Instrument panel cluster. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
8 | Replace the fuel sender. Refer to Fuel Sender Assembly Replacement in Engine Controls. Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
9 | Replace the instrument cluster. Refer to Instrument Cluster Replacement | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
10 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 3 |
