WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Suzuki XL-7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Remove fuel pump assembly referring to FUEL PUMP REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
Use an ohmmeter to confirm that resistance of sender gauge unit changes with change of float position.
If measured value is out of specification, replace fuel sender gauge.
