Down Test in this group for more information.
Voltage to operate the electric pump is supplied
through the fuel pump relay.

FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) is
attached to the side of the fuel pump module (Fig. 2).
The sending unit consists of a float, an arm, and a
variable resistor (track). The resistor track is used to
send electrical signals to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) for fuel gauge operation and for OBD
II emission requirements.
For fuel gauge operation: As fuel level
increases, the float and arm move up. This decreases
the sending unit resistance, causing the fuel gauge to
read full. As fuel level decreases, the float and arm
move down. This increases the sending unit resis-
tance causing the fuel gauge to read empty.
After this fuel level signal is sent to the PCM, the
Fig. 1 Fuel Tank/Fuel Pump Module (Top View) PCM will transmit the data across the CCD bus cir-
cuits to the instrument panel. Here it is translated
into the appropriate fuel gauge level reading.
For OBD II emission requirements: The voltage
signal is sent from the resistor track to the PCM to
indicate fuel level. The purpose of this feature is to
prevent a false setting of misfire and fuel system
monitor trouble codes. This is if the fuel level in the
tank is less than approximately 15 percent of its
rated capacity.

FUEL FILTER/FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
A combination fuel filter and fuel pressure regula-
tor is used on all engines. It is located on the top of
fuel pump module (Fig. 1). A separate frame mounted
fuel filter is not used with any engine.

tors are used with the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine (Fig. 5).
The injectors are attached to the fuel rail.
The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into
openings in the intake manifold just above the intake
valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine wiring
harness connector for each fuel injector is equipped
with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.).
This is used to identify each fuel injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a
sequential order by the powertrain control module
(PCM). The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by
switching the ground path to each individual injector
on and off. Injector pulse width is the period of time
that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust
injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
During start up, battery voltage is supplied to the
injectors through the ASD relay. When the engine is
operating, voltage is supplied by the charging sys-

pump. Refer to Fuel Pump—Description and
Operation for more information. Also refer to
the Fuel Pressure Leak Down Test and the Fuel
Pump Pressure Tests.
If fuel pressure at the pressure regulator exceeds
approximately 49 psi, an internal diaphragm closes
and excess fuel is routed back into the tank through
the pressure regulator. A separate fuel return line is
not used.

FUEL TANK
All models pass a full 360 degree rollover test
without fuel leakage. To accomplish this, fuel and
vapor flow controls are required for all fuel tank con-
nections.
All models have a pressure relief/rollover valve Fig. 4 Fuel Rail and Injectors—4.0L 6–Cyl. Engine

FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) con-

up or down, electrical resistance will change. Refer to
Group 8E, Instrument Panel and Gauges for Fuel
Gauge testing. To test the gauge sending unit only, it
must be removed from vehicle. The unit is part of the
fuel pump module. Refer to Fuel Pump Module
Removal/Installation for procedures. Measure the
resistance across the sending unit terminals. With
float in up position, resistance should be approxi-
mately 20 ohms. With float in down position, resis-
tance should be approximately 220 ohms.
