Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety.
  • Allow the engine to cool down if it has been running.
2. Access Fuel Level Sensor
  • Remove the rear seat or floor panel to access the fuel tank access cover.
  • Unscrew and remove the access cover to expose the fuel tank.
3. Remove Fuel Level Sensor
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the fuel level sensor.
