Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Resistance Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 (S) - 2 (E) Fluid volume is more than 900 cc (54.9 cu.in.) 10 kohms or higher 1 (S) - 2 (E) Fluid volume is less than 500 cc (30.5 cu.in.) Below 1 ohms HINT: When the fluid volume is between 500 and 900 cc (30.5 and 54.9 cu.in.), the level warning switch may be on or off. NG --> See step 6 OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (LEVEL WARNING SWITCH ASSEMBLY - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY AND BODY GROUND) Disconnect the A17 level warning switch connector. Disconnect the C50 combination meter connector. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
