Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the fuel level sensor. Install a signal generator and instrument panel tester between the signal circuit and the low reference circuit.
  2. Ignition ON, vary the resistance on the signal generator from 40-250 ohms. With the scan tool verify that the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter displays the correct fuel level percent. Refer to Fuel Level Specifications (2.0L )  or Fuel Level Specifications (2.4L and 2.2L) .
    • If the fuel level percent is incorrect, test the signal circuit and the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If all circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.
  3. Ignition ON, vary the resistance on the signal generator from 40-250 ohms. Observe the fuel gage and verify that the fuel gage displays the correct fuel level. Refer to Fuel Level Specifications (2.0L )  or Fuel Level Specifications (2.4L and 2.2L) .
    • If the fuel gage display is incorrect, test or replace the instrument panel cluster (IPC).
  4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fuel level sensor.
