- Ignition ON and fuel cap removed, verify that the FTP sensor parameter is between 1.3-1.7 volts.
- If the FTP sensor parameter is not within the specified range, test the FTP low reference circuit for an open or high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the FTP sensor.
- With the GE-41415-50
, connect the J 41413-200
to the fuel filler neck.IMPORTANT: Refer to the J 41413-200 operation manual for detailed instructions.
