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, replace as follows.
Removing
1. Remove the seats and battery cover; then disconnect
the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the rear body panel and cargo box (see
Steering/Body/Controls); then plug or tape over the
gas tank filler hose.
NOTE: The power supply/wiring to the fuel pump
could be checked by reconnecting the battery negative
cable and 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.
Disconnect the negative battery cable when finished.
3. 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.
4. Mark the components for assembling purposes and
remove the screws securing the fuel pump to the gas
tank.

5. Carefully remove the fuel pump/fuel level sender
assembly from the gas tank; then tape over the open-
ing.
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).

NOTE: If readings are erratic, clean the resistor
wiper and resistor with clean alcohol and retest. If
still not correct, replace the fuel pump assembly.
Installing
1. Carefully place the fuel pump assembly into the gas
tank referencing orientation marks made during
removal.

2. Secure the pump assembly with the mounting screws
and tighten securely in a crisscross pattern.

3. Connect the electrical connector and the gasline hose
connector to the fuel pump; then press the wiring
harness anchors into position and secure the cable
ties as shown.
AT THIS POINT
If the pump has failed earlier test and must be replaced,
proceed to INSTALLING.
