ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 14-55

Sensors

Rotate the waterwheel by hand slowly.

Measure the output voltage of the speed sensor.

G/R (+), BK/W (–) → 0

battery voltage; twice a rotation

(Rotate it slowly.)

If the voltage does not rise from zero to battery voltage
twice a rotation, replace the sensor.

Measure the output voltage of the sensor at higher
speeds.

Rotate the waterwheel in a fair speed by air.

G/R (+), BK/W (–) → approx. 5 V

If the sensor voltage does not reach 5 volts when spun
with compressed air, replace the sensor.

Fuel Level Sensor Inspection

Open the front storage compartment cover.

Disconnect the fuel level sensor 2-pin connector.

Loosen the clamp, and remove the fuel level sensor out
of the fuel tank.

Set the hand tester (ohmmeter) to the × 1 kΩ range.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394

Connect the tester leads the W/R and BK/W leads to
check the switching operation of the float.

Meter Reading

When sensor is held upright [A]: approx. 8.03 kΩ
When sensor is held upside down [B]: approx. 0 Ω

The meter should read as specified. If it does not, replace
the fuel level sensor.

Throttle Sensor Removal/Installation

Refer to Throttle Sensor Removal/Installation in the Fuel
System chapter.
