  2. Also check that the resistance changes smoothly when the float is moved from "E" to "F".
    RESISTANCE CHART

    Position Resistance (Ω)
    Empty 200.0 ± 2
    Warning lamp 170.0 ± 2
    1/2 66.0 ± 1
    Full 8.0 ± 1
  3. If the height resistance is unsatisfied, replace the fuel sender as an assembly.
    CAUTION: After completing this test, wipe the sender dry and reinstall it in the fuel tank.
