Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety.
2. Access the Fuel Level Sending Unit
  • Tools Required: Socket set, Screwdriver set.

    • At full tank, resistance should be around 0-5 ohms.
    • At empty tank, resistance should be around 80-100 ohms.
  • If readings are outside the specified range, replace the fuel level sending unit.
4. Check Wiring and Connections
  • Inspect the wiring harness and connectors for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
  • Repair or replace any faulty wiring or connectors as necessary.
5. Reassemble and Test
  • Reconnect the wiring harness to the fuel level sending unit.
