Inspection steps

  1. SSM3 data reading
    1. Using SSM3, display the [Current Data Display & Save] screen. Check the computer data. (Refer to CURRENT DATA DISPLAY & SAVE / SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK MODE  )
      SSM3 DISPLAY: [EACH SYSTEM CHECK] →[COMBINATION METER] →[CURRENT DATA DISPLAY & SAVE]

      Item Name [Symbol] Description/display range Normal value Remarks
      [Fuel Input]
      [Fuel Input]
      Input value of fuel sender
      Display range: 0 to 127.5[L]
      Fuel level is displayed If it is abnormal, the fuel sender gauge may be faulty

      Criteria: Data monitor value is almost equal to the value on the fuel receiver gauge.

      NG: Go to Step 2.

      OK: Replacement of the combination meter ASSY (refer to REMOVAL  )

  2. Unit inspection of the fuel sender gauge ASSY
    1. Remove the fuel sender gauge ASSY. (Refer to FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSY (FA20) )
    2. Perform the unit inspection of the fuel sender gauge ASSY. (Refer to UNIT INSPECTION )

      NG: Replacement of the fuel sender gauge ASSY (refer to FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSY (FA20) )

      OK: Go to Next Step

  3. Unit inspection of the fuel suction tube ASSY (with pump and gauge)
    1. Resistance check
      1. Remove the fuel suction tube ASSY (with pump and gauge).
      2. Measure the resistance between the terminals.
