Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
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	Confirm that the vehicle is stopped with the engine idling

   OK

   Fuel receiver gauge indication is normal.

OK: Go to next step 

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
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 signal/Min.: 0, Max.: 127.5	10th segment comes on: 39.6 to 45.0	Unit: Liter
   		9th segment comes on: 35.7 to 39.6
   		8th segment comes on: 31.8 to 35.7
   		7th segment comes on: 27.9 to 31.8
   		6th segment comes on: 24.0 to 27.9
   		5th segment comes on: 20.1 to 24.0
   		4th segment comes on: 16.2 to 20.1
   		3rd segment comes on: 12.3 to 16.2
   		2nd segment comes on: 8.4 to 12.3
   		1st segment comes on: 6.1 to 8.4

   Result

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

B → See step   3 

A → See step   7 

1. Disconnect the L27 and R11 connectors.
2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   L27-14 (L) - R11-2 (FS)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   L27-15 (ES2) - R11-3 (FE)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   L27-14 (L) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
   L27-15 (ES2) - 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 .

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)	12 to 18 Ω
   1 - 2	Float level is between F (upper) and E (lower)	12 to 415 Ω (Gradually changes)
   1 - 2	Float level is E (lower)	405 to 415 Ω

OK: Go to next step 

1. Replace the combination meter assembly (meter circuit plate) with a new or a known good one. Refer to DISASSEMBLY .

   OK

   There is no deformation.

NG → See step   6 

OK → END 

1. Replace the combination meter assembly (No. 4 meter circuit plate) with a new or a known good one. Refer to DISASSEMBLY .

   OK

   The operation of the fuel receiver gauge returns to normal.

NG → See step   7 

OK → END
