Fuel Gauge Unit Inspection:





Fuel Gauge Unit Resistance
1. Check that resistance value between the fuel gauge terminal and ground terminal is at standard value when fuel gauge unit float is at point F (highest) and point E (lowest).
Standard Value:
Main
Point F: 0.6 ± 5.1 Ohms
Point E: 58.8 ± 66.8 Ohms
Sub
Point F: 0.4 ± 2.0 Ohms
Point E: 44.2 ± 50.2 Ohms
2. Check that resistance value changes smoothly when float moves slowly between point F (highest) and point E (lowest).


Fuel Gauge Unit Float Height
Move float and measure the height at point F (highest) and point E (lowest) with float arm touching stopper.
Standard Value:

Fuel Gauge Unit Float Height:





Main
Point F: 152.5 mm (6.004 in.)
Point E: 43.9 mm (1.728 in.)

Fuel Gauge Unit Float Height:





Sub
Point F: 152.0 mm (5.984 in.)
Point E: 46.6 mm (1.835 in.)
