Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect C401, install a signal generator and instrument panel tester between the signal circuit and the low reference circuit.
- Ignition ON, vary the resistance on the signal generator from 40-250 ohms and monitor the fuel gage.
- If the fuel gage displays the correct fuel level, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance between C401 and the fuel level sender. If the circuit tests normal, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance between C401 and the fuel level sender.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the fuel level sender.
- Ignition ON, vary the resistance on the signal generator from 40-250 ohms. Verify that the scan tool Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter displays the correct fuel level percent.
- If the fuel level percent is correct, replace the instrument panel cluster (IPC).
- If the fuel level percent is incorrect, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
