Explorer 2WD V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN E EFI (1997)
Fuel Gauge Module: Description and Operation
The instrument cluster gauge amplifier electrically averages the fuel sender readings so the gauge displays the actual fuel level and not fluctuations due
to fuel sloshing. The amplifier also supplies the signal to illuminate the CHECK GAGE indicator to indicate low fuel, high engine coolant temperature,
or low engine oil pressure. The gauge amplifier is a small printed circuit board located in a pocket on the back of the instrument cluster. The electrical
connections are made with a spring-type connector. There are no provisions for calibration or adjustment. The fuel gauge and the instrument cluster
gauge amplifier must be replaced as a unit.
NOTE: Fuel gauge and instrument cluster gauge amplifier must be replaced as a component. The fuel gauge and instrument cluster gauge amplifier are
calibrated together.
