Fuel Gauge: Testing and Inspection
Fuel Gauge Fault Tracing
Tubular type fuel gauge, fault tracing
-
See if temperature gauge is working. The fuel gauge supply comes from the temperature gauge.
If the temperature gauge works. check the fuel gauge with a test resistor of 68 ohm, P/N 999 5824-1.
-
Make an adapter by assembling the following parts. See illustration:
RK 1.0 gray wire (P/N 970 595-5).
Terminal 3.5 x 1.0 - 2.5. (P/N 965 824-6).
Sleeve insulator 3R (P/N 948 296-9).
Terminal FSH 6.3 x 1.0 - 2.5 (P/N 949 404-8).
Cover 2 x 6.0 (P/N 943 511-6).
-
Disconnect sensor lead in trunk.
-
Connect test resistor between ground and the disconnected white-gray lead.
If gauge is OK for 60-liter (15.9 US gal.) tank, left hand side of pointer should Just touch red section of gauge.
If gauge is OK for 80-liter (21.1 US gal.) tank, right side of pointer should just touch red section of gauge. Tolerance ± breadth of pointer.
