Metro & Tracker

  1. To get to fuel tank sending unit connector on Metro, remove rear seat. On Tracker, remove rear bumper. Using test light, backprobe Yellow/Red wire terminal of sending unit connector. Turn ignition on. Test light should glow dimly and fuel gauge pointer should fluctuate toward full position within a few seconds.
  2. If test light does not glow, repair wiring circuit. See appropriate chassis wiring diagram in the WIRING DIAGRAMS  section. After repair, use voltmeter to ensure 2-7 volts are supplied to Yellow/Red wire terminal at tank sending unit connector with ignition on.
  3. If test light does glow in step 1), but gauge does not fluctuate, remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Attach ohmmeter leads across fuel gauge terminals on back of instrument cluster. See Fig 1 .
  4. Resistance should be about 70 ohms. If resistance reading is not as specified, replace fuel gauge.
