Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

1. 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. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE TABLE

B → GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 

A: Go to next step 

1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
3. Turn the tester 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	EMPTY, 1/2, FULL	-

   OK

   Needle indication is normal.

NG → REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
3. Turn the tester 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 signal Min.: 0, Max.: 127.5	Fuel gauge indicates (E): 7.5 (L) Fuel gauge indicates (1/2): 35.0 (L) Fuel gauge indicates (F): 62.9 (L)	-

   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 

1. Disconnect the E20 and L13 connectors.

2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   E20-16 (FE) - L13-2	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E20-15 (FR) - L13-3	Always	Below 1 Ω
   L13-2 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
   E20-16 (FE) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the fuel sender gauge connector.

2. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly.
3. Check that the float moves smoothly between F and E.
4. Measure the resistance between the terminals 2 (S) and 3 (FE) of the connector according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance

   Float Level	Resistance (Ω)
   F	13.5 to 16.5
   Between E and F	13.5 to 414.5 (Gradually changes)
   E	405.5 to 414.5

NG → REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new one or a normal one.

   OK

   The operation of the combination meter assembly returns to normal.

NG → REPLACE ECM 

OK → END
