Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction [08/2013 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
    5. Check the operation by referring to the table below.
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Meter Operation Fuel receiver gauge OFF, Empty, 1/2, Full -

      OK

      Fuel receiver gauge indication is normal.

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL INPUT) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Input Fuel input/Min.: 0 G, Max.: 127.5 G Fuel receiver gauge indicates F: 57.9 G -
      Fuel receiver gauge indicates 3/4: 48.3 G
      Fuel receiver gauge indicates 1/2: 32.2 G
      Fuel receiver gauge indicates 1/4: 16.1 G
      Fuel receiver gauge indicates E: 6.4 G

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Fuel level data displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the fuel receiver gauge indication. A
      Fuel level data displayed on the Techstream differs from the fuel receiver gauge indication. B

    B → See step   6 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the H14 combination meter assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the P7 fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      H14-26 (FR) - P7-2 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω
      H14-26 (FR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      H14-27 (FE) - P7-3 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω
      H14-27 (FE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] .

    2. Check that the float moves smoothly between F and E.
    3. Check if the fuel sender gauge arm is deformed.
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 Float level is F (upper) 13.5 to 16.5 Ω
      1 - 2 Float level is between F (upper) and E (lower) 13.5 to 414.5 Ω (Gradually changes)
      1 - 2 Float level is E (lower) 405.5 to 414.5 Ω

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK CONNECTOR 
    1. Visually check for deformation on the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly connector.

      OK

      There is no deformation.

    NG → See step   8 

    OK → See step   6 

  6. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] 
  7. REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] 
  8. REPLACE FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2013 - ]
