Fuel Gauge

If fuel gauge needle does not move at all, check for blown fuse or damaged wire harness. If fuel and temperature gauge are inoperative, inspect voltage regulator for malfunction. If only fuel gauge does not work, proceed to Step 1) for gauge and sending unit testing.

1. Disconnect wire to sending unit at fuel tank. Connect resistor between positive and negative terminals of the unit. Use the RESISTANCES FOR FUEL GAUGE TESTING table to compare gauge reading. Allow 2 minutes for gauge reading to stabilize. It should be within 1 pointer width of line on gauge face.
2. If gauge readings are incorrect, replace gauge. If readings are okay, test fuel gauge sending unit located inside fuel tank.
