Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction





METER / GAUGE / DISPLAY: METER / GAUGE SYSTEM: Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction
- Fuel Receiver 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.

NOTICE:
When the combination meter is removed or replaced, its connector is disconnected or fuel is added, the fuel receiver gauge display will return to normal within a maximum of 16 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to ON or when vehicle speed is input.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

(a) Check if a CAN communication DTC is output Diagnosis System.

Result





B -- GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM How to Proceed With Troubleshooting
A -- Continue to next step.

2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION)

(a) Use the Active Test to check the operation of the fuel receiver gauge Meter / Gauge System.

Combination Meter





OK:

Fuel receiver gauge indication is normal.

NG -- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL INPUT)

(a) Use the Data List to check if the fuel receiver gauge is operating properly Meter / Gauge System.

Combination Meter





OK:

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

NG -- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the C50 meter connector.

(b) Disconnect the H12 gauge connector.

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

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. INSPECT FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY





(a) Remove the fuel suction plate sub-assembly Removal.

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

Standard Resistance:
