Component Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, remove the fuel level sender.
  2. Sweep the fuel level sensor through its full range of motion while measuring resistance between the signal terminal D and the low reference terminal C.
  3. Test for a minimum resistance value of 37-43 Ω and a maximum value of 245-255 Ω without any spikes or dropouts.
    • If minimum resistance is not 37-43 Ω, maximum resistance is not 245-255 Ω, or if there are any spikes or dropouts 

      Replace the fuel level sensor.

    • If minimum resistance is 37-43 Ω, maximum resistance is 245-255 Ω, and if there are no spikes or dropouts 
  4. All OK.
