  1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 3 of sender connector (A) at each float level.

  2. Also check that the resistance changes smoothly when the float is moved from "E" to "F".
    Position Resistance(Ω)
    E 184 ± 1Ω
    Warning lamp 170 ± 1Ω
    1/2 66.2 ± 1Ω
    Sender (F) 15 ± 1Ω
  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.
