2001 Acura CL: needle sweep not working

My fuel gauge has been stuck below “E”, I tested the fuel pump and it is fine.
I am trying to do the needle sweep/gauge test to see If it ismy actual gauge that is the problem and it is not working. I am following the instructions, any tips?
Thanks!

Welcome to the forums.

We would rather you didn't post the same thread 5 times in several different forums. One thread should suffice and will prevent alienating those members from whom you wish to receive replies.

Sorry about that. I was a little confused. I couldn’t find a way to edit or remove the posts or I would have taken the repeats posts down. I think I understand this forum a little better now.

Sounds good.

We're here to help. It is typically a lot slower on the weekends so it may take a while to get some helpful replies.

To my knowledge there is no cluster sweep test on 2nd gen TL/CL. The procedure you are using is likely for a later gen vehicle.

After checking the #9 fuse, then checking voltage between pins 1 & 2 at the fuel pump/sending unit connector(trunk under access panel), you can use a 2 Ohm resistor to check the fuel gauge itself. If all tests are good then you have a bad sending unit.

The following is from a 2G TL service manual but should apply to the CL.
