  1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
  3. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC B1175 indicated? 

    YES  - Go to step 4.

    NO  - Intermittent failure, the fuel level sensor circuit is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections.

  4. Disconnect the fuel pump 5P connector and gauge control module connector B (14P) and check for loose or damaged terminals.
  5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  6. Reconnect the connectors, check for voltage between the No. 12 and No. 13 terminals of gauge control module connector B (14P) and No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the fuel tank unit 5P connector.
