Fuel Gauge Test

  1. Remove rear seat. Remove fuel pump access cover. Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect 3-pin connector from fuel gauge sending unit. Connect voltmeter positive lead to terminal "A" (Yellow/White wire) and negative voltmeter lead to terminal "B" (Black wire).
  2. Turn ignition on and observe voltmeter. Voltmeter should indicate 5-8 volts. If 5-8 volts are indicated on voltmeter, go to step 3). If no voltage is indicated, check for blown 10-amp fuse No. 23 in the dash fuse box. Check for open in Yellow, Yellow/White or Black/White wires. Check for poor ground.
  3. Turn ignition off. Attach jumper wire between terminal "A" (Yellow/White wire) and terminal "B" (Black/White wire). Turn ignition switch on. Gauge needle should start moving toward "F" mark. Ensure to turn ignition off within 5 seconds, or before gauge needle reaches "F" mark on gauge. Failure to turn ignition off before needle reaches "F" mark may damage fuel gauge.
  4. If fuel gauge needle does not move, replace fuel gauge. If fuel gauge needle moves, inspect gauge sending unit.
