Fuel Gauge Malfunction [09/2014 - 10/2015]: Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION) 
    1. Use the Active Test to check the operation of the fuel receiver gauge (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [09/2014 - 10/2015] ).
      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 with the engine idling.

      OK

      Fuel receiver gauge indication is normal.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - ] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL INPUT) 
    1. Use the Data List to check if the fuel receiver gauge is operating properly (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [09/2014 - 10/2015] ).
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Input Fuel input signal/Min.: 0, Max.: 127.5 Current fuel level displayed Unit: Liters.

      OK

      Fuel level signal displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as fuel receiver gauge indication.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - ] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY, FUEL TANK VENT TUBE ASSEMBLY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the N40 combination meter assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the U11 fuel suction plate sub-assembly connector.
    3. Disconnect the T16 fuel tank vent tube assembly connector.
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N40-26 (FR) - U11-2 Always Below 1 Ω
      N40-27 (FE) - T16-3
      U11-3 - T16-2
      N40-30 (ES) - Body ground
      N40-26 (FR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      N40-27 (FE) - Body ground
      U11-3 - Body ground

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - 10/2015] ).
    2. Inspect the fuel sender gauge assembly (Refer to INSPECTION [09/2014 - 10/2015] ).

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - 10/2015] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. INSPECT FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the fuel suction plate sub-assembly (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - 10/2015] ).

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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A-2 - B-2 Always Below 1 Ω
      A-3 - B-1

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - 10/2015] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  6

  6. INSPECT NO. 2 FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - 10/2015] ).
    2. Inspect the No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly (Refer to INSPECTION [09/2014 - 10/2015] ).

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE NO. 2 FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - 10/2015] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  7

  7. INSPECT FUEL TANK VENT TUBE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the fuel tank vent tube assembly (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - 10/2015] ).
