FUEL GAUGE UNIT FLOAT HEIGHT
Move float and measure the height at point F (A) and at
point E (B) with float arm touching stopper.
Standard value:
Float positionMainSub
Point F16.417.5
Point E122.6134.6
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR (THERMISTOR)
1. Connect a test lamp (12V – 3.4W) to the fuel gauge
unit connector terminal and apply the battery voltage.
2. Condition is good if lamp goes off when the thermistor
is immersed in water and goes on when it is taken out
of water.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE SIMPLE CHECK
Remove the engine coolant tempara-
ture gauge unit connector.

between the harness side connector
and the earth.
When the ignition switch is turned to
ON, the test lamp illuminates.OKThe needle of the engine coolant tem-
perature gauge moves.NGReplace the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge.

PRINTED-HEATER CHECK
1. Run engine at 2,000 r/min. Check heater element with
battery at full.
2. Turn ON rear window defogger switch. Measure heater
element voltage with circuit tester at rear window glass
centre A.
Condition is good if it indicates about 6V.
3. If 12 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the negative
terminals from A.
Move test bar slowly to negative terminal to detect where
voltage changes suddenly (0V).
4. If 0 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the positive
terminals from A. Defect where the voltage changes
suddenly (12 V) in the same method described above.
