Fuel Level Sensor Resistance

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check that resistance value between the fuel gauge terminal and ground terminal is at the standard value when the fuel level sensor float is between point "F" (highest) and point "E" (lowest).

    Standard value: 

    Point "F": 3 5 ohms 

    Point "E": 110 112 ohms 

  2. Check that resistance value changes smoothly when the float moves slowly between point "F" (highest) and point "E" (lowest).
  3. If all checks are correct, go to fuel level sensor float height check. If any check is not correct, replace the fuel level sensor.
