Fuel Gauge Test

  1. Turn ignition off. Remove rear seat. Remove fuel pump access cover. Disconnect 3-pin connector from fuel gauge sending unit. Connect positive voltmeter lead to Yellow/White wire and negative voltmeter lead to Black/White wire. Turn ignition switch to ON position and measure voltage. If voltage is 5-8 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not 5-8 volts, check for poor ground connection or open in Blue/White, Yellow/White, or Black/White wires. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
    CAUTION: Failure to turn ignition off before needle reaches "F" mark may damage fuel gauge.
  2. Turn ignition off. Connect jumper wire between Yellow/White wire and Black/White wire. Turn ignition on. Gauge needle should start moving toward "F" mark. Turn ignition off before gauge needle reaches "F" mark on gauge.
  3. If wiring is okay and fuel gauge needle does not move, replace fuel gauge. If fuel gauge is okay, test fuel gauge sending unit. See FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT TEST.
