DTC B1500: Fuel Sender Open Detected: Procedure

1. Operate the Techstream according to the display and select the Data List, refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST .
   COMBINATION METER
   
   

   Tester Display	Measurement Item/Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
   Fuel Input	Fuel sender gauge (main) input signal/Min.: 0, Max.: 127.5	Fuel sender input value	Unit: L

   OK

   Fuel value displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as needle indication.

NG → See step   2 

OK → See step   5 

1. Disconnect the E7 and E8 combination meter assembly connectors.
2. Disconnect the N1 fuel suction with pump and gauge tube assembly connector.
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   E8-9 (L) - N1-2 (FS)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E8-21 (E) - N1-3 (FE)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E7-15 (ET) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E8-9 (L) or N1-2 (FS) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly, refer to REMOVAL .
