SPEED SENSOR
NOTE: Preliminary checks may be performed on
this component using the diagnostic mode on the LCD
gauge (see EFI Diagnostic System in this section).
NOTE: Prior to testing the speed sensor, inspect the
three-wire connector on the speed sensor for contami-
nation, broken pins, and/or corrosion.
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Using MaxiClips, connect the red tester lead to the
orange wire; then connect the black tester lead to the
black wire.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
4. The meter must show battery voltage.
5. Leave the black tester lead connected; then connect
the red tester lead to the pink/white wire.
6. Slowly move the vehicle forward or backward; the
meter must show 0 and battery voltage alternately.
NOTE: If the sensor tests are not within specifica-
tions, the sensor must be replaced.
To replace a speed sensor, use the following procedure.
1. Disconnect the three-wire connector from the speed
sensor; then remove the cap screw securing the sen-
sor to the transaxle.
2. Install the new speed sensor into the transaxle with new
O-ring lightly coated with multi-purpose grease; then
secure the sensor with the cap screw. Tighten to 10 ft-lb.
FUEL PUMP/FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
NOTE: Preliminary checks may be performed on
this component using the diagnostic mode on the LCD
gauge (see EFI Diagnostic System in the Electrical
System section).
The fuel pump and fuel level sensor are not serviceable
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 (several 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.

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. Check for any flashing DTC (Diagnostic Trouble
Code) on the digital gauge. A disconnected or faulty
tilt sensor will cause the fuel pump not to run and a
code to flash.
5. If the pump is not running, check the 10 amp FUEL
fuse in the PDM under the passenger seat. Replace as
necessary and check for fuel pump operation.
6. If fuse is OK, check the FUEL relay by swapping
with another relay. If the pump runs, replace the
FUEL relay.
7. If the pump still is inoperative, proceed to removing.
Removing
1. Remove the passenger seat.
NOTE: The power supply/wiring to the fuel pump
could be checked by using a multimeter set to DC
volts; then check for battery voltage by turning the
ignition to ON and checking between the black and
red wires.
2. Disconnect the fuel pump/fuel level sender connec-
tor; then wrap a shop towel around the gasline con-
nector and disconnect the gasline from the fuel
pump.
3. Mark the components for assembling purposes and
remove the screws securing the fuel pump to the gas
tank.
! 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 fuel pump, the following test
should be performed to determine that removal is nec-
essary.
! WARNING
Gasoline may be under pressure. Place an absorbent
towel under the connector to absorb any gasoline spray
when disconnecting.
