Inspection Procedure

  1. INSPECT COMBINATION METER 
    1. Disconnect the E46 connector.
    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) - E46-25 (L) Always 13.5 to 414.5 Ω

      NG: Go to step 2

      OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER  (See REMOVAL )

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the L17 connector.
    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 

  3. 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 (FS) - L17-3 (FE) Float level Is F (upper) 13.5 to 16.5 Ω
      L17-2 (FS) - L17-3 (FE) Float level Is between F (upper) and E (lower) 13.5 to 414.5 Ω (Gradually changes)
      L17-2 (FS) - 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 REMOVAL )
