Diagnostic Procedure
- Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII®, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
With the DRBIII®, read the Fuel Level Sensor voltage.
Is the Fuel Level Sensor voltage below 0.2 of a volt?
- Yes --> Go To 2
- No --> Refer to the SYMPTOM: INTERMITTENT CONDITION Symptom (Diagnostic Procedure).
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 .
- Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Fuel Pump Module harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII®, read the Fuel Level Sensor voltage.
Did the Fuel Level Sensor voltage change from below 0.2 of a volt to above 4.0 volts?
- Yes --> Replace the Fuel Level Sensor.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 .
- No --> Go To 3
- Yes --> Replace the Fuel Level Sensor.
- Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (G8) Fuel Level Sensor Signal circuit.
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?
- Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the (G8) Fuel Level Sensor Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 .
- No --> Go To 4
- Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the (G8) Fuel Level Sensor Signal circuit.
- Measure the resistance between the (G8) Fuel Level Sensor Signal circuit and the (K4) Sensor ground circuit.
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?
- Yes --> Repair the short between the (K4) Sensor ground circuit and the (G8) Fuel Level Sensor Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 .
- No --> Go To 5
- Yes --> Repair the short between the (K4) Sensor ground circuit and the (G8) Fuel Level Sensor Signal circuit.
- Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
