    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 the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.
      1. for 2WD
        COMBINATION METER

        Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
        Fuel Input Fuel input signal / Min.: 0, Max.: 127.5 Fuel gauge indicates (E): 5.0 (L)
        Fuel gauge indicates (1/2): 25.0 (L)
        Fuel gauge indicates (F): 42.6 (L)
        -

        OK

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

      2. for 4WD

        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): 24.8 (L)
        Fuel gauge indicates (F): 43.9 (L)
        -

        OK

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

    NG → See step   6 

    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

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        E55-25 (L) - L13-2 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω
        E55-25 (L) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
        E55-10 (E) - L13-3 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω
        E55-10 (E) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
    2. Check the harness and connector (for 4WD).
      Fig 2: Checking Harness And E55, L13 & L12 Connectors (Combination Meter - Fuel Sender Gauge Assembly)
      GTY211049Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      1. Disconnect the L12 and L13 connectors.
      2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        E55-25 (L) - L13-2 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω
        E55-25 (L) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
        L13-3 (FE) - L12-1 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω
        L13-3 (FE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
        E55-10 (E) - L12-2 (E) Always Below 1 Ω
        E55-10 (E) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT FUEL SUCTION PUMP AND GAUGE 
    1. Remove the fuel suction pump and gauge.
