Corvette V8-6.0L VIN U (2005)
Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a variable resistor. The position of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level
sensor contains a variable resistor, which changes the resistance corresponding to the amount of fuel in the fuel tanks. The PCM uses inputs from both
fuel level sensors in order to calculate the total fuel remaining in both fuel tanks. This information is sent via a Class 2 message to the instrument panel
cluster (IPC) to be displayed on the fuel gage.
