Inspection Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
    5. Check the operation by referring to the table below.

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Meter Operation Fuel receiver gauge EMPTY, 1/2, FULL Confirm that the vehicle is stopped, engine idling

      OK: 

      Gauge indication is normal. 

      NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER  (See REMOVAL )

      OK: Go to next step 

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

      Combination Meter 

      COMBINATION METER REFERENCE CHART

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Input Fuel input signal Min.: 0, Max.: 127.5 Fuel gauge indicates (E): 5.5 (L) -
      Fuel gauge indicates (1/2): 27.5 (L)
      Fuel gauge indicates (F): 49.5 (L)

      OK: 

      Fuel value signal displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as fuel receiver gauge indication. 

      NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER  (See REMOVAL )

      OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the E46 and L17 connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E46-10 (E) - L17-3 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω
      L17-3 (FE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E46-25 (L) - L17-2 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω
      E46-25 (L) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

      OK: Go to next step 

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

      Standard Resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L17-2 (FE) - L17-3 (FE) Float level is F (upper) 13.5 to 16.5 Ω
      L17-2 (FE) - L17-3 (FE) Float level is between F (upper) and E (lower) 13.5 to 414.5 Ω (Gradually changes)
      L17-2(FE) - L17-3 (FE) Float level is E (lower) 405.5 to 414.5 Ω

      Result 

      RESULT REFERENCE

      Result Proceed to
      OK A
      NG (for 2AZ-FE) B
      NG (for 2ZR-FE) C

      B: REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY (for 2AZ-FE)  (See REMOVAL )

      C: REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY (for 2ZR-FE)  (See INSTALLATION )
