NO. 1 FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE POSITION INCORRECT [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER]

id0903d5807400

1

Fuel gauge needle position incorrect
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Fuel gauge sender unit malfunction
• Instrument cluster malfunction
• Connector or pin malfunction
• Fuel gauge sender unit is improperly installed
• Open or short circuit in wiring harness between instrument cluster and GND
• Open or short circuit in wiring harness between instrument cluster and fuel gauge sender unit

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION
1
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
• Verify that the fuel gauge needle does not move after ignition switch is turned off, or the display does not indicate F even though fuel tank is full.
• Is the fuel gauge normal?
Yes
Troubleshooting completed.
No
Go to the next step.
2
• Inspect the DTC for the instrument cluster ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
• Is there any DTCs been recorded in memory?
Yes
Perform the recorded DTC’s troubleshooting.
(See DTC TABLE [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER].)
No
Go to the next step.
3
• Verify that the fuel gauge needle moves using the M-MDS instrument cluster simulation function FUEL_INPT.
• Does the fuel gauge needle move according to simulation function.
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the instrument cluster.
(See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
4
• Verify that the instrument cluster PID FUEL_INPT using the M-MDS.
Fuel tank capacity 69.0 L
• Does the FUEL_INPT PID indicate 15.3—126.1 ohms?
Fuel tank capacity 62.0 L
• Does the FUEL_INPT PID indicate 22.8—126.1 ohms?
Yes
Go to Step 6.
No
Go to the next step.
5
• Inspect following wiring harness for open or short circuit.
― Instrument cluster terminal 2U—fuel gauge sender unit
― Fuel gauge sender unit—fuel gauge sender sub
― Fuel gauge sender sub unit—instrument cluster terminal 2W
• Is there any open or short circuit?
Yes
Repair or replace suspect wiring harness.
No
Go to the next step.
6
• Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
• Is the fuel gauge sender unit installed properly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Reinstall the fuel gauge sender unit.
7
• Inspect the fuel gauge sender unit.
• Is the fuel gauge sender unit normal?
Yes
Replace the instrument cluster.
(See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No
Replace the fuel gauge sender unit.
