- CHECK SYMPTOMS
- Ask the customer about the problem symptoms.
Result
Result Proceed to Malfunction occurs when adding fuel (Even after adding fuel, reading does not increase at all or increases very slowly, etc.) A Malfunction occurs during normal driving (The reading does not change, decreases quickly or decreases when the vehicle is not being driven, etc.) (The problem symptom recurs) B Malfunction occurs during normal driving (The reading does not change, decreases quickly or decreases when the vehicle is not being driven, etc.) (The problem symptom does not recur) C

- Check if Vehicle Stability Control System DTCs are output.
- CHECK FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE OPERATION BY ADDING FUEL
- Record the fuel receiver gauge reading.
- If the fuel tank assembly is almost full, drain 20 liters or more of fuel. (This is not necessary when the fuel tank assembly is sufficiently below full.)
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to reset the fuel receiver gauge.
HINT:
Check that the ignition switch is turned off before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal and turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Check that the fuel receiver gauge has been reset.
- Drive the vehicle at 1 mph or more, then move the shift lever to P and turn the ignition switch off.
- Add 5.0 liters or more of fuel, turn the ignition switch to ON, and check that the fuel receiver gauge reading increases in proportion to the amount of fuel added.
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
