Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Lexus IS 350 and 2009 Lexus IS 250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The meter CPU receives fuel level signals from this circuit. The fuel sender controls the resistance value in accordance with changes in sender gauge position. The meter CPU detects the fuel level from the transformed voltage. The meter CPU outputs a constant voltage of 12 V to the fuel sender. In the fuel sender, the voltage is changed due to the resistance. The changed voltage is output from the fuel sender to the meter CPU, thus the fuel level is determined by fuel injection signals transmitted using the BEAN lines.
HINT:
The fuel level warning light will come on when the fuel level is below 11.0 liters (9.7 US qts, 11.6 lmp qts).
