The fuel level sender is attached to the top of the fuel tank. The resistance of the
fuel sender increases as the fuel level in the fuel tank decreases. The fuel sender
is an input to the T2: TDM and provides information for the TDM fuel gauge. The
fuel sender is a sliding float design with a single wire harness connector.
Testing the Fuel Level Sender
1. Remove the fuel tank assembly; refer to
Removing and Installing the Fuel
.
2. Remove screws and lock washers that secure the fuel sender to the fuel tank.
3. Carefully remove fuel sender and gasket from the fuel tank. Clean all fuel
from the sender.
4. Inspect sender gasket for damage and replace if necessary.
5. Verify fuel sender float is able to move freely through its entire range of
operation.
Note:
Before taking small resistance readings with a digital multimeter, short
meter test leads together. The meter will display a small resistance value.
This internal resistance of the meter and test leads should be subtracted from
the measured value of the component.
6. Using a multimeter (ohms setting), check the resistance of the sender at
the harness connector with the float in the full (up) position, and in with the
float in the empty (down) position.
7. Replace sender if testing determines that it is faulty.
8. If the sender tests correctly and a circuit problem still exists, check the wire
harnesses; refer to
Appendix A (page A–1)
.
9. Carefully install sender into fuel tank and install fuel tank assembly.
