2. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY

   
   
   1. 

      *a	Front view of wire harness connector (to Combination Meter Assembly)

      Disconnect the E46 combination meter assembly connector.

   2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E46-16 (L) - E46-15 (E) Always 13.5 to 414.5 Ω

      Result
      Proceed to OK NG

   
   

   OK

3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY, FUEL TANK VENT TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY)

   
   

   1. Disconnect the L20 fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly*1 or fuel tank vent tube sub-assembly*2 connector.

      
      

      • *1: for Gasoline

      • *2: for Diesel

   2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E46-16 (L) - L20-2 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω E46-16 (L) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher E46-15 (E) - L20-3 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω E46-15 (E) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result
      Proceed to OK NG

   
   

   NG
