CHECK FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE (OPERATION BY ADDING FUEL)

NOTE:

As it is necessary to add more than a certain amount of fuel to the fuel tank, if the fuel level is near full (fuel receiver gauge indicator near F), perform the following procedure then proceed to step (a). If the fuel tank is not near full, proceed to step (a) without performing the following procedure.

Turn the ignition switch off.
Remove 15 liters (15.9 US qts, 13.2 Imp. qts) or more of fuel from the fuel tank.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Wait 6 minutes or more.
Confirm that the fuel receiver gauge indicates a value in accordance with the removed amount of fuel.

Record the fuel receiver gauge reading.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
HINT:

This resets the current fuel level information stored by the combination meter assembly.
Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Drive the vehicle at 2 km/h (1 mph) or more, and then stop the vehicle on a flat surface.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Wait 30 seconds or more.
Add the following amount of fuel or more.
1. 5.0 liters (5.3 US qts, 4.4 Imp. qts)
Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Check that the fuel receiver gauge reading increases in proportion to the amount of fuel added.

NOTE:

After turning the ignition switch to ON, it may take approximately 30 seconds until the fuel receiver gauge indicates the determined value.

Result

Result	Proceed to
Fuel receiver gauge reading increases in proportion to the amount of fuel added	A
Fuel receiver gauge reading does not change even when fuel is added	B

Result:

See step 10

Result:

REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [12/2021 - ]

CHECK FOR DTC (SFI SYSTEM)

Check if SFI system DTCs are output.

Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes

Result

Result	Proceed to
DTCs are not output	A
DTCs are output	B

Result:

GO TO SFI SYSTEM

w/ Canister Pump Module: Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [12/2021 - 10/2023] , or refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [10/2023 - ]

CHECK FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE

Record the fuel receiver gauge reading.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
HINT:

This resets the current fuel level information stored by the combination meter assembly.
Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Wait 30 seconds or more.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Check if the fuel receiver gauge reading corresponds with the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.

NOTE:

After turning the ignition switch to ON, it may take approximately 30 seconds until the fuel receiver gauge indicates the determined value.
