Install the D.E.S.S. key on its post.
Use the
FLUKE 115 MULTIMETER (P/N 529 035 868)
and select Vdc.
Measure the voltage on the installed diagnostic
harness connector as follows.

NOTE: Voltage could be slightly different depend-
ing on battery voltage but should remain relatively
close to this range. If fuel tank is not full or empty,
the voltage value will be proportional to the fuel
level (somewhere in-between).
If vol
tage is as per specifications the fuel level cir-
cuit a
nd sensor are good. If fuel level does not
work i
n information center, try a new one.
If voltage is out of specifications, perform the
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR RESISTANCE TEST AT
INFORMATION CENTER
as described in this sub-
section.
Remove diagnostic harness and reconnect con-
nector.
Fuel Level Sensor Resistance Test at
Information Center
Disconnect information center (multifunction
gauge) connector. Refer to
GAUGE
subsection.
Use the
FLUKE 115 MULTIMETER (P/N 529 035 868)
and select .
Alternately drain then fill fuel tank and measure
the sensor resistance between pins 19 and 20 as
follows.

NOTE: If fuel tank is not full or empty, the resis-
tance value will be proportional to the fuel level
(somewhere in-between).
If readings are as per specifications, the fuel level
circuit and sensor are good. If fuel level does not
work in information center, try a new one.
If readings are out of specifications, perform the
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR RESISTANCE TEST AT
FUEL PUMP
.
Reconnect information center (multifunction
gauge) connector.
Fuel Level Sensor Resistance Test at
Fuel Pump
Disconnect fuel pump module connector.
