Inspection steps

  1. Reading of SSM4 data
    1. On the SSM4, navigate to the [Data monitor] display, and check the computer data. (Refer to DATA MONITOR/ACTIVE TEST )

    SSM4 screen: [Each System] →[Combination Meter] →[Data monitor]

    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: Go to next step

    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 REMOVAL )
