Nominal Resistance Of The Fuel Level Sensor

  1. Remove the fuel pump module (Refer to ON-VEHICLE SERVICE < Main >, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR (SUB) REPLACEMENT < AWD > < Sub >.
  2. When float of the fuel level sensor is in stopper positions F and E, ensure that resistance between the fuel level sensor terminal and ground terminal is within the standard value.

    < FWD > Standard value: 

    GAUGE RESISTANCE VALUE - FWD

    Float position Gauge resistance value (ohms)
    Stopper position "F" 13.0 ± 1.0
    Stopper position "E" 120.0 ± 1.0

    < AWD > Standard value: 

    GAUGE RESISTANCE VALUE - AWD

    Float position Gauge resistance value (ohms)
    Main Sub
    Stopper position "F" 6.5 ± 1.0 6.5 ± 1.0
    Stopper position "E" 44.7 ± 1.0 75.3 ± 1.0
  3. When the float is moved slowly between stopper positions "F" and "E", ensure that the resistance is smoothly changing.
