Fuel Gauge: Testing and Inspection

- INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE OPERATION




a. Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
b. Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge needle indicates EMPTY.




c. Connect terminals 1 and 2 on the wire harness side connector through a 3.4 watts test bulb.
d. Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up and the receiver gauge needle moves towards the full side.

HINT: Because of the silicon oil in the gauge, it will take a short time for needle to stabilize.

If operation is not as specified, inspect the receiver gauge resistance.







- INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals.
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver gauge.
