Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction [08/2019 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if a CAN communication DTC is output.

      Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2019 - 08/2020] , or refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2020 - 08/2021] , or refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2021 - ]

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTC is not output A
      CAN communication DTC is output B

    Result: 

    B 

    GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [08/2019 - ] 

    Result: 

    A 

    See step  2

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION) 
    1. Using the Techstream, perform the Active Test.

      Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2019 - ]

      BODY ELECTRICAL > COMBINATION METER > ACTIVE TEST

      Tester Display Measurement Item Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Meter Operation Fuel receiver gauge OFF, Sender E, Empty, Warning, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, Full, Sender F See [Display]
      1. [Display]: Fuel receiver gauge

        *a Fuel Gauge Operation (Sender E)
        *b Fuel Gauge Operation (Empty)
        *c Fuel Gauge Operation (Warning)
        *d Fuel Gauge Operation (1/4)
        *e Fuel Gauge Operation (1/2)
        *f Fuel Gauge Operation (3/4)
        *g Fuel Gauge Operation (Full)
        *h Fuel Gauge Operation (Sender F)

        OK

        Fuel receiver gauge indication is normal.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2019 - ] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. 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 [08/2019 - ]

      BODY ELECTRICAL > COMBINATION METER > DATA LIST

      Tester Display Measurement Item / Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Input Fuel input signal / Min.: 0, Max. 127.5 L
      • Fuel receiver gauge indicates F: 78.3
      • Fuel receiver gauge indicates 3/4: 62.2
      • Fuel receiver gauge indicates 1/2: 46.1
      • Fuel receiver gauge indicates 1/4: 27.4
      • Fuel receiver gauge indicates E: 8.7
      Unit: Liters

      OK

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

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2019 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the G3 combination meter assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the S4 fuel suction plate sub-assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G3-26 (L) - S4-2 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω
      G3-2 (E3) - S4-3 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω
      G3-20 (MGND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      G3-26 (L) or S4-2 (FS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly.

      Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - ]

    2. Inspect the fuel sender gauge assembly.

      Refer to INSPECTION [08/2015 - ]

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2015 - ] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  6

  6. INSPECT FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the fuel suction plate sub-assembly.

      Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - ]
