Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if CAN communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM .

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTC is not output. A
      CAN communication DTC is output. B

    B → See step   7 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Ignition switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester 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

      Needle indication is normal.

    NG → See step   8 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Ignition switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester 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 signal Min.: 0, Max.: 127.5 Fuel gauge indicates (E): 7.5 (L)
      Fuel gauge indicates (1/2): 35.0 (L)
      Fuel gauge indicates (F): 62.9 (L)
      -

      OK

      Fuel value signal displayed on the tester is almost the same as needle indication.

    NG → See step   8 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the E1 and fuel sender gauge assembly connectors.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E1-34 (FR) - 2 Always Below 1 Ω
      E1-19 (FE) - 1 Always Below 1 Ω
      2 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E1-34 (FR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the fuel sender gauge connector.
      Fig 2: Inspecting Fuel Sender Gauge Assembly
      GTY207788Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
    2. Measure the resistance between the terminals 1 and 2 of the connector according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Float Level Resistance (Ω)
      F 3.0 to 5.0
      Between E and F 3.0 to 111.0 (Gradually changes)
      E 109.0 to 111.0
    3. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly. Refer to REMOVAL - Step 2 for 2GR-FE. Refer to REMOVAL for 1AR-FE.
    4. Check that the float moves smoothly between F and E.
    5. Check the fuel sender gauge if there is deformation in the arm.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      OK A
      NG (for 2GR-FE) B
      NG (for 1AR-FE) C

    B → See step   9 

    C → See step   11 

    A: Go to next step 

  6. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new one or a normal one. Refer to REMOVAL - Step 3 .

      OK

      The operation of the combination meter assembly returns to normal.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      OK A
      NG (for 2GR-FE) B
      NG (for 1AR-FE) C

    B → See step   10 

    C → See step   12 

    A → END 

  7. GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  8. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  9. REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY (for 2GR-FE). Refer to  REMOVAL - Step 2 
  10. REPLACE ECM (for 2GR-FE). Refer to  REMOVAL - Step 7 
  11. REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAGE ASSEMBLY (for 1AR-FE). Refer to  REMOVAL 
  12. REPLACE ECM (for 1AR-FE). Refer to  REMOVAL
