FUEL GAUGE/FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
FUEL GAUGE INSPECTION
When the ignition switch turns ON, check that all
gauge needles move to full scale and then return to
zero.
If the fuel gauge needle does not show initial func-
tion but other needles show initial functions, faulty
combination meter.
If all needles do not move, perform the power and
ground line inspection of the combination meter
(page 22-10).
If the fuel gauge needle shows initial function, but
fuel gauge needle moves abnormal with fuel fills,
check as follows:
FUEL IS ABOUT FULL BUT NEEDLE DOES NOT
MOVE
Remove the luggage lower box (page 3-16).
Remove the wire band and disconnect the fuel
pump unit 5P (Natural) connector.
Short the connector terminal of the wire side with
the jumper wire.
Immediately
disconnect the
jumper wire from
the ground when
the needle moves
to "F" to prevent
damage to gauge.
Turn the ignition switch ON, engine stop switch " "
and check the coolant temperature gauge.
The needle moves if the system is normal.
In that case, check the fuel level sensor (page 22-26).
If the needle does not move, check for open circuit
in Gray/black and/or Green/white wire.
If the wire is properly, faulty combination meter.
NEEDLE MOVES BUT IT MOVES ABNORMAL
Remove the fuel pump unit (page 6-76).
Measure the resistance between the connector ter-
minals with the float upper (full) and lower (empty)
positions.
Replace the fuel level sensor if it is out of specifica-
tion.
