Sebring L4-122 2.0L DOHC VIN Y MFI (1995)
Fuel Gauge: Testing and Inspection
Fuel Gauge Unit Inspection
To check the fuel gauge unit, remove it from the fuel tank.
Fuel Gauge Unit Float Height
Fuel Gauge Unit Float Height
Move the float and measure the height A at point F (highest) and B at point E (lowest) with float arm touching stopper.
Standard value:
A:............................................................................................................................................................................................................28.6 mm (1.13 in.)
B:............................................................................................................................................................................................................159.9 mm (6.3 in.)
Fuel Gauge Unit Resistance
Fuel Gauge Unit Resistance
1. Check that resistance value between the fuel gauge terminal and ground terminal is at standard value when the fuel gauge unit float is at point F
(highest) and point E (lowest).
Standard value:
POINT F:.............................................................................................................................................................................................. 4 ± 2 Ohms
POINT E:...........................................................................................................................................................................................112 ± 7 Ohms
2. Check that resistance value changes smoothly when the float moves slowly between point F (highest) and point E (lowest.)
Thermistor
Thermistor
1. Connect fuel gauge unit to battery via test light (12 V - 3.4 W). Immerse it in water.
2. The condition is good if light goes off when thermistor or level switch is in water and lights when it is removed from water.
CAUTION: Dry the unit, or water will get into the fuel tank.
