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
•  Start the instrument cluster input/output check mode.
•  Select the check code 22.
•  Display value is 4—161?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 4.
3
•  Perform the check code 23 inspection.
•  Is there any malfunction?

Replace the instrument cluster.
No
Go to the next step.
4
•  Perform the check code 22 inspection.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 6.
5

•  Are the terminals normal?
Yes
Replace the instrument cluster.
No
Repair or replace the terminal.
6
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Disconnect the instrument cluster connector.
•  Inspect for continuity between following terminals:
―  Instrument cluster terminal 3Q — GND
―  Instrument cluster terminal 2I — GND
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness.
No
Go to the next step.
7
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Inspect the fuel gauge sender unit connector terminals for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, and corrosion).
•  Are the terminals normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the terminal.
8
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Disconnect the instrument cluster connector.
•  Inspect for continuity between following terminals:
―  Instrument cluster terminal 3Q — fuel gauge sender unit terminal B
―  Instrument cluster terminal 2I — fuel gauge sender unit terminal A
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness.
9
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Is the fuel gauge sender unit installed properly?
Yes
Inspect the fuel gauge sender unit.
No
Reinstall the fuel gauge sender unit.
