to run the engine at idling speed until it reaches
normal operating temperature, then continue to run

2. Fold the left rear seat cushion forward, and remove
the base frame cover {see section 20).
3. Remove the access panel from the floor.
4. Disconnect the 5P connector from the fuel pump.
5. Measure voltage between the 5P connector termi-nals No.2 and No. 5 with the ignition switch ON ( ).There should be between 5 and 8 V.

Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starts mov-ing toward the "F" mark. Turn the ignition switchOFF before the pointer reaches "F" on the gauge
dial. Failure to do so may damage the luel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross-coil) type,hence the fuel level is continuously indicated evenwhen the ignition switch is OFF, and the pointer
moves more slowly than that of a bimetal type.
. lf the pointer of the fuel gauge does not move atall. replace the gauge.
. lf the gauge is OK, inspect the fuel gauge send-ing unit.

PGM-FI Main Relay
Description
The PGM-Fl main relav actuallv contains two individual
relays. This relay is located at the passenger side of the
cowl. One relay is energized whenever the ignition is on
which supplies the battery voltage to the ECM/PCM,
power to the fuel injectors, and power for the second
relay. The second relay is energized for two seconds
when the ignition is switched on, and when the engine
is running, to supply power to the fuel pump
PGM.FIMAIN RELAY
Belay Testing
NOTE: lf the engine starts and continues to run, the
PGM-FI main relay is OK.
1. Remove the glovebox and the passenger's dash-
board lower cover (see section 20).
2. Remove the PGM-FI main relay
3. Aftach the battery positive terminal to the No. 2 ter-
minal and the battery negative terminal to the No. 1
terminal of the PGM-Fl main relay. Then check for
continuity between the No. 5 terminal and No. 4 ter-
minal of the PGM-FI main relay
