INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAGE ASSY

Disconnect the connector fuel sender gauge.
Check the float position between E and F and measure the resistance between terminals 2 and 3 of the connector. Check that the resistance value changes continuously.

Standard:

FLOAT RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

Float level	Float position mm (in.)	Resistance (Ω)
F	64.5 (2.53) +/- 3 (0.12)	15.0 +/- 1
1/2	11.6 (0.45) +/- 3 (0.12)	54.7 +/- 3
