Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if a CAN communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM .
      RESULT

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

    B → See step   9 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. 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 .
      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.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  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 .
      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 the fuel receiver gauge indication.

    NG → See step   10 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the C50 meter connector.
    2. Disconnect the H12 gauge connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C50-11 (L) - H12-2 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω
      C50-10 (E) - H12-3 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω
      C50-11 (L) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C50-10 (E) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. INSPECT FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY

    1. Remove the fuel suction plate sub-assembly. Refer to REMOVAL .
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A-2 (FS) - B-2 Always Below 1 Ω
      A-3 (FE) - B-1

    NG → See step   8 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly. Refer to REMOVAL .

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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 Float position F (upper) 13.5 to 16.5 Ω
      Float position E (lower) 405.5 to 414.5 Ω
