Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation
When the ignition is in ON (II) or START (III), battery voltage is supplied through fuse 13 to the gauges in the gauge assembly.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge is operated by two intersecting coils wound around a permanent magnet rotor, and a bucking coil in series with the full coil. When
voltage is applied to the coils, a magnetic field is generated which causes the rotor to rotate and the gauge needle to move. The magnetic fields are
controlled by the fuel gauge sending unit in the fuel tank unit. As the resistance in the sender varies, current through the gauge coils changes, and
the gauge needle moves according to the changing magnetic field. When you turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), the needle remains at the last
reading until you turn it ON again.
