NOTE: Normal Warranty policies and procedures apply.

SERVICE INSTRUCTION:
1. Remove the fuel pump and sender unit / fuel pump module (see TOPIx Workshop Manual, Section 310-01).
2. Place the fuel pump and sender unit / fuel pump module on a clean work surface.

3.

CAUTION: To reduce the chance of
incorrect wiring of the harnesses, wherever
possible, only repair one wire at a time.

CAUTION: Make sure that the splice is
crimped in the correct location.

CAUTION: Make sure that the splice is
crimped using special tool 418-116A /
YRW500010.

CAUTION: Make sure that the splice with
the part number listed above is used. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in a
poor repair.

NOTE: The number of black connectors
shown in the fuel tank on a vehicle may vary
from the procedure shown below. To achieve
the best possible repair, replace as many of
the black connectors (up to three [3 in total)
as possible.

NOTE: Some variation in the illustrations
may occur, but the essential information is

always correct.
When installing the splices, make sure that the
splice is crimped in the correct location.
'Tick' / '1' - correct crimp location.
'X' / '2' - incorrect crimp location.

4.

CAUTION: Make sure the wiring is cut as
close to the connector as possible.

NOTE: A total of three (3) black two-pin
connectors may be found. Replace only one at
a time.
Identify a black two-pin connector to be removed.
Cut wiring as close to the connector as

possible.

5. Using a suitable tool, remove 5mm of insulation
from the end of each wire.

6.

CAUTION: After crimping the connection,
perform a gentle pull test to make sure that a
sufficiently strong connection has been
created. If required, remove and replace the
splice.
Using Crimping Tool 418-116A / YRW500010,
install and crimp a splice to the ends of each wire.

14.
CAUTION: Make sure the wiring is cut
as close to the connector as possible.

CAUTION: Make sure that the correct
wires are re-connected to each other.
Identify the connector to be removed.
Carefully withdraw the connector out of the

tank.
Cut the wires shown as close to the connector

as possible.

Connect the two ground wires from the base of the
fuel tank flange to the two splices installed in step
12.
Position the fuel tank flange close to the fuel

tank.
Using a suitable tool, remove 5mm of

Using Crimping Tool 418-116A / YRW500010,

install and crimp a splice to the ends of each
wire.
Using a suitable tie strap, secure the two
splices together.

17. Measure the resistance values of the fuel gauge sending units.
Compare the resistance values obtained to the Resistance Values Checks chart below.

• If the resistance values are correct, continue to the next step.
• If the resistance values are not correct, further diagnosis is required. Must be performed as a
separate claim.

18.
CAUTION: A successful resistance values check (step 17) must be carried out before
continuing to install the fuel pump and sender unit / fuel pump module.
Complete the installation of the fuel pump and sender unit / fuel pump module (see TOPIx Workshop Manual,
