Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure
- CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
- Check if CAN communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
.RESULT
Result Proceed to CAN communication DTC is not output A CAN communication DTC is output B
B → See step 9
A: Go to next step
- Check if CAN communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
.
- CHECK MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
- Check if Multiplex communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
.RESULT
Result Proceed to Multiplex communication DTC is not output A Multiplex communication DTC is output B
B → See step 10
A: Go to next step
- Check if Multiplex communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
- 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 EMPTY, 1/2, FULL Confirm that the vehicle is stopped, engine idling OK
Fuel receiver gauge indication is normal.
NG → See step 11
OK: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL INPUT)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
- Check the values by referring to the table below.COMBINATION METER
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Fuel Input Fuel input signal Min.: 0, Max.: 255 Fuel gauge indicates (E): 206 - Fuel gauge indicates (1/2): 148 Fuel gauge indicates (F): 48 OK
Fuel value signal displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as fuel receiver gauge indication.
NG → See step 11
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the P10 and Q14 connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance: Fuel Sender Gauge Assembly (Main)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Q14-2 (S) - Q14-3 (FE) Always 6.5 to 229.6 Ω Standard Resistance: Fuel Sender Gauge Assembly (Sub)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition P10-1 (FS) - P10-2 (E) Always 6.5 to 184.9 Ω
NG → See step 12
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the J34 connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition J34-19 (FR) - Q14-2 (S) Always Below 1 Ω Q14-3 (FE) - P10-1 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω P10-2 (E) - J34-2 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω Q14-2 (S) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher P10-1 (FS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher J34-2 (FE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the fuel sender gauge connector.
- Inspect the fuel sender gauge assembly (main).
- Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly (main) with harness connected.
- Check that the float moves smoothly between F and E.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals 1 (FE) and 2 (S) of the connector according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Fuel Sender Gauge Assembly (Main))
Float Level Resistance (Ω) F 6.5 to 8.5 Between E and F 6.5 to 229.6 (Gradually changes) E 224.6 to 229.6
- Inspect the fuel sender gauge assembly (sub).
- Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly (sub).
- Check that the float moves smoothly between F and E.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals 1 (FS) and 2 (E) according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Fuel Sender Gauge Assembly (Sub))
Float Level Resistance (Ω) F 6.5 to 8.5 Between E and F 6.5 to 184.9 (Gradually changes) E 180.9 to 184.9
NG → See step 12
OK: Go to next step
- REPLACE COMBINATION METER
- Replace the combination meter with a new or a known good one. Refer to REMOVAL - Step 9
.
OK
The operation of the combination meter returns to normal.
NG → See step 13
OK → END
- Replace the combination meter with a new or a known good one. Refer to REMOVAL - Step 9
.
- GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
- GO TO MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
- REPLACE COMBINATION METER. Refer to REMOVAL - Step 1
- REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY (for 2UR-GSE). Refer to REMOVAL
- REPLACE ECM (for 2UR-GSE). Refer to REMOVAL
