WIRING DIAGRAM

PROCEDURE

1.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL SENDER GAUGE)

(a) Use the Data List to check if the fuel receiver gauge is operating properly (See page ).

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: Liter

OK:

Fuel amount value displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as needle indication.

REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - FUEL SUCTION WITH PUMP AND BODY GROUND)

(a) Disconnect the F14 meter connector.

(b) Disconnect the Q5 gauge connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
F14-40 (L) - Q5-2 (FS)	Always	Below 1 Ω
F14-19 (E3) - Q5-3 (FE)
F14-20 (E1) - Body ground
F14-40 (L) or Q5-2 (FS) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

3.	INSPECT FUEL SUCTION WITH PUMP AND GAUGE TUBE ASSEMBLY

(a) Remove the fuel suction with pump and gauge tube assembly (See page ).

(b) 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	Always	Below 1 Ω

REPLACE FUEL SUCTION WITH PUMP AND GAUGE TUBE ASSEMBLY

4.	INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY

(a) Remove the fuel sender gauge (See page ).

(b) 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
2 - 3	Float level E (lower)	405 to 415 Ω
