Fuel Gauge: Testing and Inspection
NOTE: Refer to fuel gauge system circuit.
1. Check the No. 1 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fusel relay box before testing.
2. Remove the access panel from the floor.
Fuel Gauge-Gauge Test
3. Disconnect the 3P connector from the fuel gauge sending unit.
4. Connect the voltmeter positive probe to the No. 2 terminal and the negative probe to the No.1 terminal, then turn the ignition switch ON (II).
There should be between 5 and 8 V.
^ If the voltage is as specified, go to step 5.
^ If the voltage is not as specified, check for:
-
an open in the YEL/WHT or BLK wire.
-
poor ground (G503).
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Attach a jumper wire between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals, then turn the ignition switch ON (II).
7. Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starts moving toward the "F" mark.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before the pointer reaches "F" on the gauge dial. Failure to do so may damage the fuel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross-coil) type, hence the fuel level is continuously indicated even when the ignition switch is OFF, and the
pointer moves more slowly than that of a bimetal type.
^ If the pointer of the fuel gauge does not move at all, replace the gauge.
^ If the gauge is OK, inspect the fuel gauge sending unit.
