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
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  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.
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.
4
•  Verify that the instrument cluster PID FUEL_INPT using the M-MDS.
•  Does the FUEL_INPT PID indicate 10—180 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 2M—fuel gauge sender unit
―  Instrument cluster terminal 2D—fuel gauge sender unit
•  Is there any open or short circuit?
Yes
Repair or replace suspect wiring harness.
No
Go to the next step.
6
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Is the fuel gauge sender unit installed properly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Reinstall the fuel gauge sender unit.
7
•  Is the fuel gauge sender unit normal?
Yes
Replace the instrument cluster.
No
Replace the fuel gauge sender unit.
