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 0.4 of a volt?
- Yes --> Go To 2
- No --> Refer to the SYMPTOM: INTERMITTENT CONDITION Symptom (Diagnostic Procedure).
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
- 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 0.4 of a volt to above 4.0 volts?
- Yes --> Replace the Fuel Level Sensor.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
- 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 (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit at the Fuel Level Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?
- Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
- No --> Go To 4
- Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit.
- Measure the resistance between the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor ground circuit at the Fuel Pump Module harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
- Yes --> Repair the short between the (K900) Sensor ground and the (N4) Fuel Level Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
- No --> Go To 5
- Yes --> Repair the short between the (K900) Sensor ground and the (N4) Fuel Level 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.
