Fuel Gauge Sending Unit Test
Special Tools Required
Fuel sender wrench 07XAA-001010A
NOTE; For the fuel gauge system circuit diagram, referto the Gauges Circuit Diagram (see page 22-58||.
1. Checkthe No. 10 fUETER {7.5A)fuse in the under-
dash fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Do the gauge drive circuit check (see page 22-56|l.
' lf the fuel gauge needle sweeps from minimuni
to maximum position and then returns to the
minimum position. the gauge is OK. Go to step 3.. lf the fuel gau ge need le does not sweep from
minimum to maximum position position and
then return to the minimum position, replace thegauge assembly and retest.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Remove the rear seat cushion {see page 20-80).
5. Remove the access panel (A)from the floor.
6. Disconnect the fuel pump 5P connector {B).

7. Measure voltage between fuel pump 5P connectorterminals No. 1 and No. 2 with the ignition switchON (ll). There should be battery voltage.
. lf the voltage is as specified, go to step 8.. lf the voltage is notasspecified,checkfor:
- an open in the YEUBLK or BLK wire.- poor ground (G551).

10. Checkthatthe pointerof thefuel gauge indicates"F".
. lf the pointer does not indicate "F", replace the
ga uge.. lf the pointer indicates "F", inspect the fuel
gauge sending unit.
NOTE: The pointer of the fuel gauge retu rns to the
bottom of the gauge dial when the ignition switch
is OFF, regardless of the fuel level. -
11. Relieve the fuel pressure (see page 11-144\.
12. Remove the fuelfill cap.
13. Disconnect the quick-connect fittings from the fuel
pump.
14. Using the special tool, loosen the fuel tank unit
locknut (A).

15. Measure resistance between the No. 1 and No.2
terminals with the float at E (EN4PTY), 'l12 \HALF
FULL), and F {FULL) positions.
lf you do not get the following readings, replace the
fuel gauge sending unit {see page 1'1-163).

NOTE: Remove the No. 9 BACK UP (7.5A) fuse from
the under-hood fuse/relay box for at least 10
seconds after completing troubleshooting,
otherwise it may take up to 20 minutes for the fuel
gauge to indicate the correct fuel level.

Low Fuel Indicator Test
Do the fuel gauge sending unit test (see page 11,
rcol.
. lf the system is OK, go to step 2.. lf the system has any malfunction, repair it.
Turn the ignition switch OFF. Remove the No. 9
BACK UP (10A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/
relay box for at least 30 seconds, then reinstall it.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll) with the float at the
E (EMPry) position.
. lf the low fuel indicator is on, go to step 4.. lf the low fuel indicator is not on, refer to the low
fuel indicator Circuit Diagram (see page 22-58)
and check the circuit.
Turn the ignition switch OFF. Remove the No. 9
BACK UP (10A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/
relay box for at least 30 seconds, then reinstall it.
Lift the float above the LOW position.
. lf the lowfuel indicatorgoes off,the system is OK.. lf the low fuel indicator is still on, refer to the low
fuel indicator Circuit Diagram {see page 22-58),
and check the circuit.

Intake Air System
Throttle Body Test
NOTE:. Do not adjust the throttle stop screw. lt is preset at the
factory.. lf the malfunction indicator lamp (MlL) has been
reported on, check for diagnostic trouble codes(DLCS) (see page 11 3).
1. With the engine off, check the throttle cable
movement. The cable should move without binding
or sticking.
. lf lhe cable moves OK, goto step 2.. lf the cable binds or sticks, check it and its routing.. lf the cable isfaulty, reroute itor replace itand
adjust it (see page 11-163), then go to step 2.
2. l\4ove the throttle lever by hand to see if the throftle
valve and/or shaft are too loose or too tight.
. lf there is excessive play in the throttle valve
shaft, or any binding in the throttle valve at the
fully closed position, replace the throttle body.. lf thethrottlevalve and shaft are OK, goto step3.
3. Connect the scan toolto the DLC.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Check the throttle position with the scan tool. The
reading should be about 10% when the throttle is
fully closed and about 90% when the throttle is fully
openeo.
. lf the throttle position is correct, the throttle body
is OK.. lf thethrottle position is notcorrect, replace the
throttle body.

DTC Pl456: EVAP Control(Fuel Tank Svstem)
System Leakage
The fuel system is designed to allow specified
maximum vacuum and pressure conditions. Do not
deviate from the vacuum and pressure tests as
indicated in these procedures. Excessive pressure/
vacuum would damage the EVAP components or cause
eventual fuel tank failure.
Special Tools Required
Vacuum Pump/Gauge, 0-30 in. Hg A973X-041-XXXXX
This is a two-trip code. Once cleared, it cannot be
reproduced in one trip. Also, cenain specific driving
and ambient conditions must occur before the ECM will
complete the system checks. Additional test drives may
still not meet the specific conditions needed to
reproduce the code.
Follow these troubleshooting procedures carefully to
ensure the integrity of the system and to confirm the
cause of the problem or code.
NOTE: Fresh fuel has a higher volatility that createsgreater pressure/vacuum. The optimum condltlon for
testing is fresh fuel, and must be less than a full tank. lf
possible, to assist in leak detection, add 1 gallon of
fresh fuel to the tank (as long as it will not fill the tank).just before starting these procedures.
Fuel Fill Cap Check
1. Check the fuel fill cap (the cap must say "lf not
tightened 3 clicks check engine light may come
on" ).
ls the proper luel till cap installed and properly
tightened?
YES Go to step 2.
NO- Replace or tighten the cap.I
2. Check the fuel fill cap seal.
ls the tuel fill cap seal missing or damaged?
YES- Replace the fuel fill cap.I
NO The fuelfill cap is OK. Go to step 3.
EVAP Canister Purge Valve Test
3. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the EVAP
canister purge valve (A), and connect a vacuum
oumo to the hose.
A973X-041-XXXXX
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).

Does the valve hold vacuum?
YES-The EVAP canister purge valve is OK. Go to
