3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but Do NOT attempt to start the engine.
4. Move the sensor float up and down while observing the fuel level gauge. The gauge should move as the float is moved.

The actual float resistance can be checked using an ohmmeter.

Sensor resistance is as follows, based on fuel level in tank:

Full tank: 40 ohms

Half tank: 115 ohms

Empty (reserve) tank: 250 ohms
