Fuel Gauge Sender: Testing and Inspection
The fuel gauge sending unit contains a variable resistor (track). As the float moves up or down, electrical resistance will change. To test the gauge
sending unit only, it must be removed from vehicle. The unit is part of the fuel pump module. Refer to Fuel Pump Module Removal/Installation for
procedures. Measure the resistance across the sending unit terminals. With float in up position, resistance should be 20 ohms ± 6 ohms. With float in
down position, resistance should be 220 ohms ± 6 ohms.
