Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

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

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL INPUT) 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.
      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 (F): 205      		 -

      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 

  3. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly.

    2. Measure the resistance between the terminals 1 and 2 of the connector according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Resistance (Ω)
      1 - 2 Float level is F (upper) 13.5 to 16.5
      1 - 2 Float level is between F (upper) and E (lower) 13.5 to 414.5
      1 - 2 Float level is E (lower) 405.5 to 414.5

    NG → REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the E30 and K7 connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E30-9 (FR) - K7-3 Always Below 1 Ω
      E30-9 (FR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E30-19 (FE) - K7-2 Always Below 1 Ω
      E30-19 (FE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
