Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation

This procedure tests the resistance of the level sensor itself. It does not test the level sensor circuit. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for circuit
identification.

The level sensor is a variable resistor. Its resistance changes with the amount of fuel in the tank. The float arm attached to the sensor moves as the
fuel level changes.
