Scan Tool Reference
Control Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for scan tool information
Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter is between 4-98 percent.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the secondary fuel level sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests
normal, replace the ECM.
3. Ignition ON, install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the secondary signal circuit terminal C and the low reference circuit terminal B. Verify
the scan tool Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter display is greater than 98 percent.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the secondary signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests
normal, replace the ECM.
4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the secondary fuel level sensor.
Component Testing
1. Ignition OFF, remove the secondary fuel level sender.
2. While sweeping the fuel level sensor through its full range of motion, test for a minimum resistance value of less than 41 ohm and a
maximum value greater than 119 ohm between the secondary signal terminal B and the low reference terminal C.
瀚慖f not within the specified range, replace the secondary fuel level sensor.
