        6,000 (5,750 to 6,250)
        7,000 6,700 to 7,300
  4. INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE 
    1. Disconnect the L7 fuel sender gauge connector.
    2. Check the fuel receiver gauge operation when the ignition switch is turned on.

      OK: No.1 segment flashes. 

    3. Connect terminals 2 and 3 on the wire harness side connector of the fuel sender gauge.
