PASSIVETANK FILLLEVEL SENSOR, SIGNAL: SENSOR FAULT > SERVICE INSTRUCTION
Measure the resistance levels at the fluidlevel sensor between pins 1 and 2, and between pins 3 and 4. The tank
must be empty for this measurement.
Normal resistance with empty tank: 10 kOhm.
Resistance levels in excess of 12 kOhms indicate that the fluidlevel sensor is defective.
