Fuel Gauge Sending Unit (All Except 760 GLE)

  1. Remove sending unit from tank. Connect an ohmmeter across fuel sending unit leads. Move float up and down and check resistances.
  2. For all except 760 GLE, fuel tank sender should have a variable resistance between 230-330 ohms (empty tank) and 35-45 ohms (full tank). For 760 GLE models, see chart. On all models, resistance should vary smoothly as float is moved.
