The fuel gauge sensor is mounted on the fuel module.
You will need an autotester to test the sensor.
1. Disconnect the wire from the terminal «minus» battery.
2. Remove the fuel module (cm. «Removal and installation of the fuel pump»).
3. Disconnect the two sensor wires from the block in the fuel module cover.
NOTE: Record the location and colors of the disconnected wires to facilitate subsequent installation.
4. Wring out a clamp and remove the gauge from the fuel module.
5. To test the fuel gauge sensor, connect a tester in ohmmeter mode to the sensor terminals.
6. Measure the resistance of the sensor with the float lever in the lower position. The resistance should be 200-206 ohms.
7. Raise the lever with the float to its extreme position - the resistance should decrease to 7.7-9.3 ohms. If the resistance of the sensor differs from the given values, then the sensor is defective and must be replaced.
8. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
