Fuel Gauge Incorrect Or Does Not Vary
- Check "Gauges" and "CLK-CIG" fuses. If fuses are good, unplug 6 wire connector near fuel tank. Turn ignition on. Using a digital voltmeter, check voltage at the Pink wire in the male half. Voltage should be 11-12 volts.
- With ignition still on, connect a digital milli-ammeter from Pink wire to ground. Ammeter should read 45-55 MA. If readings are not as described, go to step 6).
- If readings in step 2) are okay, connect rheostat leads from Tester (J-33431-A) between the Pink wire in male half of 6 wire fuel tank connector and ground. Set resistance to 86 ohms. Turn ignition on. Cluster should display full tank. Turn ignition off.
- Set resistance to 4 ohms. Turn ignition on. Cluster should display an empty tank and a "LOW" lamp should flash on and off. If resistances are not as specified, replace cluster. If resistances are good, lower fuel tank.
- Check for opens or shorts in Pink wire between fuel tank sending unit and 6 wire connector. Ensure ground wire is attached to fuel tank. If wiring is good, replace sending unit in tank.
- If readings were not as specified in steps 1) and 2), remove left front speaker cover. Disconnect negative battery cable. Unplug cluster harness connector. Connect battery cable. Turn ignition on. Using a digital voltmeter check voltage at pin R (Pink wire) of harness connector.
- Voltmeter should read 0 volts. Voltage at Pink wire of 6 wire connector at fuel tank should also read 0 volts. If voltage is not as specified, repair wiring.
- If voltages are as specified in step 7), use an ohmmeter to check for opens or shorts between pin R (Pink wire) of cluster harness connector and Pink wire of 6 wire connector at fuel tank. If wiring is good, replace cluster.
