the fuel level sender resistance values at the connector terminals is described in Section 8A1, 2.1 Modular Fuel Pump
and Sender Assembly in this Service Information.
For information relating to the removal of the fuel sender from the fuel tank, refer to one of the following references as
required, in the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information:
Section 8A1, 2.6 Modular Fuel Pump and Sender Assembly – Sedan, Wagon and Coupe
Section 8A1, 2.7 Modular Fuel Pump and Sender Assembly – Utility
Section 8A1, 2.8 Fuel Level Sender Assembly – V6 Supercharged and Vehicles Exported to Brazil
For correct fuel gauge operation, ensure that the correct instrument cluster, fuel tank and fuel level sender assembly
combination are fitted for the vehicle configuration. For confirmation of this, refer to the latest parts information.
NOTE
These fuel calibration software codes apply to all
MY 2004 VY and V2 Series models. For
calibration codes applicable to MY 2003 vehicles,
refer to Section 12C, 3.15 Program in the
MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information.
Fuel Calibration Part Numbers and Code Index Numbers for MY 2004 VY and V2 Series vehicles are as follows:

TECH 2 Testing
When TECH 2 is connected to the vehicle and is switched on, it determines what version of software is installed in the
instrument cluster. From this information, it recognises what type of seat belt switch hardware and fuel sender unit should
be fitted to the vehicle. The correct simulated values for testing of the instruments are then applied when required.
NOTE
Refer to the latest Parts Information to verify that
the correct instrument cluster, fuel tank and fuel
sender assembly are installed for the vehicle.
Fuel (Petrol) Sender Resistance
With the instrument cluster in Diagnostic Mode, the current
fuel sender resistance can be displayed. To access the
instrument cluster Diagnostic Mode, refer to Section 12C,
3.3 Ins trum ent Cluster Diagnostics in the MY 2003 VY and
V2 Series Service Information.
Figure 12C – 2
The fuel sender resistance should be between 40 ± 5 ohms and 250 ± 5 ohms. However, unlike MY 2003 Series VY and
V2 Series vehicles, this resistance should decrease as the tank is filled and increase as the tank is emptied.
Also refer to Section 12C, 3.15 Program in the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information.
