Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction [11/2015 - ]: Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the 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.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    Refer to REMOVAL [11/2015 - ] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL INPUT) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Input Fuel input/Min.: 0 L, Max.: 127.5 L 10th segment illuminated: 31.7 to 36.0 Unit: Liter
      9th segment illuminated: 28.5 to 31.7
      8th segment illuminated: 25.4 to 28.5
      7th segment illuminated: 22.1 to 25.4
      6th segment illuminated: 19.2 to 22.1
      5th segment illuminated: 16.2 to 19.2
      4th segment illuminated: 12.7 to 16.2
      3rd segment illuminated: 9.8 to 12.7
      2nd segment illuminated: 6.9 to 9.8
      1st segment illuminated: 5.0 to 6.9

      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

    Result: 

    A 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    Refer to REMOVAL [11/2015 - ] )

    Result: 

    B 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the G1 combination meter assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the M22 fuel sender gauge assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G1-2 (L) - M22-2 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω
      G1-2 (L) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      M22-3 (FE) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly (Refer to REMOVAL [11/2015 - ] ).

    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 415.5 Ω (Gradually changes)
      1 - 2 Float level is E (lower) 405.5 to 414.5 Ω

    REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 

    Refer to REMOVAL [11/2015 - ] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK FUEL SUCTION TUBE ASSEMBLY WITH PUMP AND GAUGE 
    1. Visually check for deformation on the fuel suction tube assembly with pump and gauge connector.

      OK

      There is no deformation.

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    Refer to REMOVAL [11/2015 - ] )

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE FUEL SUCTION TUBE ASSEMBLY WITH PUMP AND GAUGE 

    Refer to REMOVAL [11/2015 - 12/2016]
