3. Secure the water pump with the two cap screws and
tighten securely; then connect the coolant hoses and
secure with hose clamps.
4. Tighten the coolant drain plug securely; then fill the
cooling system with appropriate mixed coolant and
install the radiator cap.
5. Start the engine and check for coolant leaks; then add
coolant if necessary to proper level.
Electric Fuel Pump/Fuel
Level Sensor
The electric fuel pump and fuel level sensor are not ser-
viceable components. If either component fails, it must
be replaced.
TESTING
1. Turn the ignition switch ON and listen for a momen-
tary “whirring” sound of the pump building pressure.
If the sound is heard (10 seconds), no electrical
checks are necessary. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the gasline hose from the fuel rail; then
install a suitable pressure gauge.
FI092A
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The fuel
pressure should build until the pump shuts off. Pres-
sure should read 3.0 kg-cm
2
(43 psi).
4. If the pump is not running, disconnect the fuel
pump/sensor connector by reaching under the rear
rack from behind.
5. Connect a multimeter to the power supply leads with
the red tester lead to the red wire and the black tester
lead to the black wire; then turn the ignition switch to
the ON position. The meter should read battery volt-
age. If battery voltage is indicated and the fuel pump
does not run, replace the pump assembly. If no bat-
tery voltage is indicated, check the ECM and the
vehicle tilt sensor.
REMOVING
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Remove the seats, center console, and right-side
seat-base; then disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Disconnect the electrical plug from the main harness;
then disconnect the gasline hose from the fuel pump.
4. Mark the fuel pump mounting and gas tank for
installing purposes; then remove the screws securing
the fuel pump to the gas tank and remove the fuel
pump.
5. Using duct tape or other suitable means, cover the
fuel pump opening.
INSPECTING
1. Inspect the fuel screen and blow clean with low pres-
sure compressed air.
2. Move the float lever and check for free movement.
The float assembly should return to the lower posi-
tion without force. If not, replace the fuel level sen-
sor assembly.
3. Test the fuel level sensor by connecting a multimeter
(A) to the fuel level sensor leads (B); then select
OHMS. The multimeter should show 5 ohms at full
fuel position (C) and 95 ohms at empty fuel position
(D).
CAUTION
After operating the vehicle for the initial 5-10 minutes,
stop the engine, allow the engine to cool down, and
check the coolant level. Add coolant as necessary.
! WARNING
Whenever any maintenance or inspection is made on
the fuel system during which there may be fuel leakage,
there should be no welding, smoking, open flames, etc.,
in the area.
AT THIS POINT
Prior to removing the electric fuel pump, the follow-
ing check should be performed to determine that
removal is necessary.
! WARNING
Gasoline may be under pressure. Place an absorbent
towel under the connector to absorb any gasoline spray
when disconnecting.
! WARNING
Always ensure that power cannot be inadvertently
applied to the ignition/ECM when working on the fuel
system. If the ignition switch is turned on, the electric
fuel pump will start and gas could be rapidly pumped
and spilled resulting in fire and severe injury.
CAUTION
Take care not to damage the float or float arm or
replacement of the entire assembly will be necessary.
AT THIS POINT
If the pump has failed earlier test and must be
replaced, proceed to INSTALLING.
