Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the fuel level sensors.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm between the fuel level sensor signal circuit terminal C and the fuel level sensor signal circuit terminal E.
- If greater than the specified, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, install a signal generator and instrument panel tester between the signal circuit terminal D and the low reference circuit terminal B.
- Ignition ON, vary the resistance on the signal generator from 40 to 250 ohms. Verify that the scan tool Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter displays a range that varies between 5 and 95 percent as the signal generator resistance changes.
- If not displaying the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fuel level sensors.
