Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
- 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
Gauge indication is normal.
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL INPUT)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
- Check the values by referring to the table below.
- for 2WDCOMBINATION 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.

- Disconnect the L13 connector.
- 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
- Check the harness and connector (for 4WD).Fig 2: Checking Harness And E55, L13 & L12 Connectors (Combination Meter - Fuel Sender Gauge Assembly)

- Disconnect the L12 and L13 connectors.
- 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
- Check the harness and connector (for 2WD).
- INSPECT FUEL SUCTION PUMP AND GAUGE
- Remove the fuel suction pump and gauge.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 2 (FS) - 2 (S) Always Below 1 Ω 3 (FE) - 1 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPLACE FUEL SUCTION PUMP AND GAUGE
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY
- Inspect the fuel sender gauge assembly (for 2WD).

- Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly.
- Check that the float moves smoothly between E and F.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 (FE) - 2 (S) Float level is F (upper) 13.5 to 16.5 Ω 1 (FE) - 2 (S) Float level is between F (upper) and E (lower) 13.5 to 414.5 Ω (Gradually changes) 1 (FE) - 2 (S) Float level is E (lower) 405.5 to 414.5 Ω
- Inspect the fuel sender gauge assembly (for 4WD).
