TROUBLESHOOTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Test Procedure 25 – Battery Test (Under Load), Continued:
6. If the reading is zero, there may be no continuity across the large posts of the solenoid. See Test Pro-
cedure 7 – Solenoid on page 11-21.
7. If all of the test results are good and the voltage reading is zero, there may be a broken or damaged 6-
gauge white wire from the solenoid to the starter/generator. See Test Procedure 9 – Starter/Generator
(Starter Function) on page 11-23.
TEST PROCEDURE 26 – FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.

WARNING
• To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion, make sure the fuel tank cap is securely in place
while performing this test procedure.
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING "To avoid unintentionally starting..." in
General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
2. Disconnect the orange wire from the center post of the fuel level sending unit.
3. With a multimeter set to 2 k ohms, place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the center post of the
sending unit. Place the black (–) probe on the ground connection of the sending unit (Figure 11-39,
Page 11-38).
4. The following resistance readings in ohms should be obtained depending on the position of the float
inside the fuel tank. The resistance reading will vary according to the exact position of the float. The chart
below may be used as a guideline to determine if the fuel level sending unit is operating correctly. Make
sure the float is at the surface of the fuel in the tank.
