Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction [08/2015 - 08/2019]: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if a CAN communication DTC is output. (Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
      RESULT

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

    Result: 

    B 

    GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 

    (Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [08/2015 - 08/2019] )

    Result: 

    A 

    See step  2

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION) 
    1. Use the Active Test to check the operation of the fuel receiver gauge. (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
      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.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - 08/2022] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL INPUT) 
    1. Use the Data List to check if the fuel receiver gauge is operating properly. (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Input Fuel input signal/Min.: 0, Max.: 127.5 Current fuel level displayed Unit: Liters

      OK

      Fuel level signal displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as fuel receiver gauge indication.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SUCTION WITH PUMP AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the F14 meter connector.
    2. Disconnect the Q5 gauge connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F14-40 (L) - Q5-2 (FS) Always Below 1 Ω
      F14-19 (E3) - Q5-3 (FE) Always Below 1 Ω
      F14-40 (L) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      F14-19 (E3) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. INSPECT FUEL SUCTION WITH PUMP AND GAUGE TUBE ASSEMBLY

    1. Remove the fuel suction with pump and gauge tube assembly. (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - ] ).
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A-2 (FS) - B-2 Always Below 1 Ω
      A-3 (FE) - B-3

    REPLACE FUEL SUCTION WITH PUMP AND GAUGE TUBE ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - ] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  6

  6. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly. (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - ] ).

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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2 - 3 Float level F (upper) 12 to 18 Ω
      Float level E (lower) 405 to 415 Ω

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - 08/2022] )

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - ] )
