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 9
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 Current fuel level displayed: Min.: 0, Max.: 255 Fuel receiver gauge indicates F: 48
Fuel receiver gauge indicates 3/4: 93
Fuel receiver gauge indicates 1/2: 148
Fuel receiver gauge indicates 1/4: 187
Fuel receiver gauge indicates E: 206OK
Fuel value signal displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as fuel receiver gauge indication.
NG → See step 9
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 233.4 Ω STANDARD RESISTANCE: FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY (SUB)Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition P10-1 (FS) - P10-2 (E) Always 6.5 to 181.1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector

(to Fuel Sender Gauge Assembly (Sub))RESULTResult Proceed to OK A NG (for 4GR-FSE) B NG (for 2GR-FSE) C
B → See step 11
C → See step 14
A: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - 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 TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector

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 233.4 (Gradually changes) E 228.4 to 233.4
- 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 181.1 (Gradually changes) E 177.1 to 181.1 RESULTResult Proceed to OK A NG (for 4GR-FSE) B NG (for 2GR-FSE) C TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
