'1. Check the No. 25 METER (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box before testing.
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.

Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Attach a jumper wire between the No. 2 and No. 5terminals, then turn the ignition switch ON fll).
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.

2. Remove the access panel.
3. With the ignition switch OFF. disconnect the 5P con-
nector from the fuel pump.
4. Relieve fuel pressure (see page 11-178).
5. Disconnect the fuel lines.
6. Remove the fuel pump,
7. Measure the resistance between the No. 2 and No. 5
terminals at E (EMPTY), 1/2 (HALF FULL) and F (FULL)
by moving the float.
lf you do not get the above readings, replace the

Drain the fuel into an aoDroved container. Then
install the drain bolt with a new washer.
Add less than 8 f (2.1 U.S. Gal. 1.8 lmp. Gal) of fuel,
and turn the ignition switch ON {ll). The low fuel indi-
cator light should come on within four minutes.
