Inspection [11/2021 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus NX 350h, 2024 Lexus NX 350h, 2023 Lexus NX 350h, and 2022 Lexus NX 350h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY WARNING:
Perform the inspection in a well-ventilated area.
Do not perform the inspection near an open flame.
- Check that the float moves smoothly between F and E.
- Check the fuel sender gauge assembly voltage.
- Apply 5 V between terminals 2 and 3.NOTE:
- Be careful when connecting the leads, as the fuel sender gauge assembly may be damaged if the leads are connected to the wrong terminals.
- Do not apply more than 6 V to terminals 2 or 3.
HINT:
If a stable power supply is not available, connect 4 nickel-metal hydride batteries (1.2 V each) or equivalent in series.
*a Component without harness connected
(Fuel Sender Gauge Assembly)*b Voltage Applied between Terminals - Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Float Level Specified Condition 1 - 2 F 4.255 to 4.605 V* 1 - 2 Between F and E 0.345 to 4.605 V*
(Gradually changes)1 - 2 E 0.345 to 0.695 V* *: The output voltage changes depending on the voltage applied to the terminals.
Output voltage (F) = (0.851 x Voltage applied to terminals) to (0.921 x Voltage applied to terminals)
Output voltage (E) = (0.069 x Voltage applied to terminals) to (0.139 x Voltage applied to terminals)
If the result is not as specified, replace the fuel sender gauge assembly.
*a Component without harness connected
