    NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER (See  COMBINATION METER  ) 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Check the harness and connector (for 2WD).
      1. Disconnect the L13 connector.
      2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE
