Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR-PCM INPUT
The fuel level sensor (fuel gauge sending unit) sends a signal to the PCM to indicate fuel level. The purpose of this feature is to prevent a false
setting of misfire and fuel system monitor trouble codes if the fuel level is less than approximately 15 percent of its rated capacity. It is also used to
send a signal for fuel gauge operation via the PCI bus circuits.
The level sensor is mounted to the side of the fuel pump module in the fuel tank. 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.
