Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if CAN communication DTC is output (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).

      Result 

      RESULT REFERENCE

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTC is not output A
      CAN communication DTC is output B (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART )

    B:  Go TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

    A: Go to next step 

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Ignition switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Enter following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
    5. Check the operation by referring to the table below.

      Combination Meter: 

      ACTIVE TEST - COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Meter Operation Fuel receiver gauge EMPTY, 1/2, FULL -

      OK: 

      Needle indication is normal. 

    NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Ignition switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Enter following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.

      Combination Meter: 

      DATA LIST - COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Input Fuel input signal Min.: 0, Max.: 255 Fuel gauge indicates (E):
      35 Fuel gauge indicates (3/4):
      85 Fuel gauge indicates (1/2):
      145 Fuel gauge indicates (1/4):
      186 Fuel gauge indicates (E): 206
      -

      OK: 

      Fuel value signal displayed on the tester is almost the same as needle indication. 

    NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the F2 and fuel sender gauge assembly connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F2-15 (FR) - 2 Always Below 1 Ω
      F2-16 (FE) - 1 Always Below 1 Ω
      2 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      F2-16 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the fuel sender gauge connector.
    2. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly.
    3. Check that the float moves smoothly between F and E.
    4. Measure the resistance between the terminals 1 and 2 of connector according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Float Level Resistance (Ω)
      F 13.5 to 16.5
      Between E and F 13.5 to 414.5 (Gradually changes)
      E 405.5 to 414.5

    NG: REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Replace the combination meter assembly to a new one or a normal one.

      OK: 

      The operation of the combination meter assembly returns to normal. 

    NG: REPLACE ECM 

    OK: END
