(Fuel Suction Plate Sub-assembly)*b Connector A *c Connector B - Reinstall the fuel suction plate sub-assembly.
NG → See step 9
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the E13 combination meter assembly connector.
- Disconnect the L5 fuel suction plate sub-assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E13-16 (L) - L5-2 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω E13-16 (L) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher E13-5 (E3) - L5-3 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω E13-5 (E3) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher E13-21 (ES) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω - Reconnect the fuel suction plate sub-assembly connector.
- Reconnect the combination meter assembly connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
