Inspection Procedure
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
- Check the operation by referring to the values in the table below.
Combination Meter:
CONTROL RANGE CHARTTester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note Fuel Meter Operation Fuel receiver gauge EMPTY, 1/2, FULL - OK: Needle indication is normal.
NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to next step.
- READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM (FUEL INPUT)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
- Check the values by referring to the values in the table below.
Combination Meter:
MEASUREMENT ITEM/RANGE CHARTTester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Fuel Input Fuel input signal Min.: 0, Max.: 127.5 Fuel gauge indicates (F):
35 Fuel gauge indicates (3/4):
85 Fuel gauge indicates (1/2):
145 Fuel gauge indicates (1/4):
186 Fuel gauge indicates (E): 205- OK: Fuel value signal displayed on the tester is almost the same as needle indication.
NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the fuel tank wire BK1 connector.
- Shorten the terminals 3 (FE) and 4 (FS) on wire harness side.
- Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal, then reconnect.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Standard:
Fuel receiver gauge indicates F or more.
OK: Go to step 6
NG: Go to next step.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BETWEEN COMBINATION METER AND FUEL TANK WIRE)
- Disconnect the C9 connector and fuel tank wire BK1 connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
STANDARD RESISTANCETester Connection Condition Specified Condition C9-2 (FE) - BK1-3 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω C9-2 (FE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher C9-19 (FUEL SENDER) -BK1-4 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω C9-19 (FUEL SENDER) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step.
- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
NG: REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU
- INSPECT FUEL TANK WIRE
- Disconnect the fuel tank wire BK1 connector, and F16 connector from the fuel sender gauge assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
STANDARD RESISTANCETester Connection Condition Specified Condition F16-2 (FS) - BK1-4 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω F16-3 (FE) - BK1-3 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω BK1-4 (FS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPLACE FUEL TANK WIRE
OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY
- Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly.
- Check the operation of the float moving smoothly between F and E.
- Disconnect the fuel sender gauge connector.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals 1 (FE) and 2 (FS) of connector according to the value (s) in the table below.
OK
