  8. CHECK FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE (OPERATION BY ADDING FUEL) 
    1. Record the fuel receiver gauge reading.
    2. If the fuel tank assembly is almost full, drain 20 liters (21.1 US qts, 17.6 Imp. qts) or more of fuel. (This is not necessary when the fuel tank assembly is sufficiently below full.)
    3. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to reset the fuel receiver gauge.
      NOTE:

      Make sure that the ignition switch is off before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

    4. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal and turn the ignition switch ON.
    5. Check that the fuel receiver gauge has been reset.
    6. Drive the vehicle at 1.8 km/h (1 mph) or more, then stop the vehicle and turn the ignition switch off.
    7. Add 5.0 liters (5.3 US qts, 4.4 Imp. qts) or more of fuel, turn the ignition switch to ON, and check that the fuel receiver gauge reading increases in proportion to the amount of fuel added.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Fuel receiver gauge reading increases in proportion to the amount of fuel added A
      Fuel receiver gauge reading does not change even when fuel is added B
