METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Fuel Gauge Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The fuel sender gauge has a variable resistance mechanism. The resistance decreases when the fuel amount increases, and the resistance increases when the fuel amount decreases. The fuel receiver gauge changes based on the resistance of the fuel sender gauge.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE


  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (FUEL METER OPERATION)


    1. Use the Active Test to check the operation of the fuel receiver gauge Click here.

      Combination Meter
      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Fuel Meter Operation Fuel receiver gauge OFF, Empty, 1/2 or Full -
      OK
      Fuel receiver gauge indication is normal.

    NG

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY Click here

    OK

  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (FUEL INPUT)


    1. Use the Data List to check if the fuel receiver gauge is operating properly Click here.

      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 GTS is almost the same as fuel receiver gauge indication.

    NG

    OK

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY, FUEL TANK VENT TUBE ASSEMBLY AND BODY GROUND)


    1. Disconnect the N40 combination meter assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the U11 fuel suction plate sub-assembly connector.

    3. Disconnect the T16 fuel tank vent tube assembly connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N40-26 (FR) - U11-2 Always Below 1 Ω
      N40-27 (FE) - T16-3
      U11-3 - T16-2
      N40-30 (ES) - Body ground
      N40-26 (FR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      N40-27 (FE) - Body ground
      U11-3 - Body ground

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
