The fuel level indicator sensor is installed on the fuel module.
To check the sensor you will need an autotester.
1. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Remove the fuel module (see "Removing and installing the fuel pump").
3. Disconnect the two sensor wires from the connector in the fuel module cover.
NOTE: To facilitate subsequent installation, record the location and colors of the disconnected wires.
4. Press the retainer and remove the sensor from the fuel module.
5. To check the fuel level indicator sensor, connect the tester in ohmmeter mode to the sensor terminals.
6. Measure the resistance of the sensor with the lever with the float in the lower position. The resistance should be 200–206 Ohms.
7. Raise the lever with the float to the extreme position - the resistance should decrease to 7.7-9.3 Ohm. If the sensor resistance differs from the given values, the sensor is faulty and must be replaced.
8. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
