Connect the voltmeter positive probe to the
YEL/WHT terminal and the negative probe to the
BLK/WHT terminal, then turn the ignition switch ON(ll). The.e should be between 5 and 8 V.
a lf the voltage is as specified, go to step 6.a lI the voltage is not as specified, check for- an open in the YEL/WHT, BLU/WHT or
BLK/WHT wire.- poor ground (G501, G502).

6.Turn the ignition switch OFF. Attach a jumper wire
between the BLKMHT and YEL/WHT terminals,
then turn the ignition switch ON {1.,.
Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starls mov-
ing toward the "F" mark.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before the
pointer reaches "F" on the gauge dial, Failure to do
so may damage the tuel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross-coil) type
gauge, hence the fuel level is continuously indicat-
ed even when the ignition switch is OFF, and thepointer moves more slowlv than that ol a bimetal
rype gauge.
a lf the pointer ol the fuel gauge does not move at
all, replace the gauge.
a It the gauge is OK, inspect the fuel gauge send-
ing unit.
