Fuel Gauge Sender: Testing and Inspection

FUEL GAUGE SENDER




1. using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 3 of sender connector (A) at each float level.
2. Also check that the resistance changes smoothly when the float is moved from "E" to "F".

Position Resistance (Ohms)
Sender (E) 184 ± 2
Warning lamp 170 ± 2
1/2 66 ± 2
Sender (F) 15 ± 2

3. If the height resistance is unsatisfied, replace the fuel sender as an assembly.

CAUTION: After completing this test, wipe the sender dry and reinstall It in the fuel tank
