Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Turn the Techstream on.
4. Enter 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

   Fuel receiver gauge indication is normal.

OK: Go to next step 

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Turn the Techstream on.
4. Enter 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/Min.: 0, Max.: 127.5	Fuel receiver gauge indicates F: 57.0	Unit: Liter
   		Fuel receiver gauge indicates 3/4: 48.3
   		Fuel receiver gauge indicates 1/2: 32.2
   		Fuel receiver gauge indicates 1/4: 16.1
   		Fuel receiver gauge indicates E: 6.4

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   Fuel level data displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the fuel receiver gauge indication.	A
   Fuel level data displayed on the Techstream differs from the fuel receiver gauge indication.	B

B → See step   5 

A: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the I18 combination meter assembly and N11 fuel sender gauge assembly connector.
2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   I18-18 (FR) - N11-2 (FS)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   I18-18 (FR) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
   I18-17 (FE) - N11-3 (FE)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   I18-17 (FE) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly. Refer to REMOVAL for 2AR-FE. Refer to REMOVAL for 2GR-FE.

2. Check that the float moves smoothly between F and E.
3. Check if the fuel sender gauge arm is deformed.
4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

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

   Result	Proceed to
   OK	A
   NG (for 2AR-FE)	B
   NG (for 2GR-FE)	C
