Inspection and Verification
Visually inspect the components. Check for damaged components, blown fuses, loose or corroded connections. Check the wiring harness for obvious signs of shorts, opens, bad connections or damage. Verify circuit operation. Verify speedometer and odometer operation by road testing the vehicle.

If fuel indicating system components are functioning properly and inaccurate indications continue, check the fuel tank for damage which may have changed the fuel sending unit mounting angle and/or damaged the fuel sending unit.

Verify the engine coolant level is full. Verify the water thermostat is operating and that drive belt tension is within specification.
