Inspection
Visually inspect the condition of connectors and
wiring throughout the circuit. Connections must
be clean and tight, and wiring free of damage. Re-
pair as necessary. Use silicone dielectric grease to
prevent corrosion at the connectors. Operate the
engine to see if the problem has been corrected.
If not, remove fuel level sensor from fuel tank and
check rod angle (100.7°), resistance at full posi-
tion (3
±
2
Ω
) and resistance at empty position
(110
±
7
Ω
).
1. Full position (3
±

)
2. Empty position (110

Fuse replacement
A 0.25 ampere fuse protects fuel level sensor cir-
cuitry. Remove seat to gain access.
Fuel Level Sensor Screws
Torque fuel level sensor retaining screws to 1
N•m (8 lbf•
in
) in the sequence shown and then to
2.5 N•m (22 lbf•
in
), using the same sequence.
