BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
HINT:
Take care to observe the following precautions when performing inspections or removal and replacement
of body electrical related parts.
1. HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special handling. They can burst if scratched or
dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case. Don't touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.
2. SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM)
The AVALON is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver airbag and front
passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (including re-
moval or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary notices in the
RS section.
3. AUDIO SYSTEM
If the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the preset AM, FM 1 and FM 2 sta-
tions stored in memory are erased, so make sure to note the stations and reset them after the negative
(-) terminal cable is reconnected to the battery.
If the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the radio, tape player and CD player
will not operate as well as audio anti - theft system. Be sure to input the correct ID number so that the
radio, tape player and CD player can be operated again.
4. MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to precautions in the IN section.

8. INSPECT TACHOMETER RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals with fixing pointer to
the stopper.
Tester connectionResistance (W)
A - B250
C - D250
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the meter.
9. INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the main sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge
needle indicates EMPTY.
(c) Connect terminals 2 and 3 on the wire harness side con-
nector through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up
and receiver gauge needle moves toward the full side.
HINT:
Because of the silicon oil in the gauge, it will take a short time
for needle to stabilize.
If operation is not as specified, inspect the receiver gauge resis-
tance.
10. INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals with fixing pointer to
the stopper.
Tester connectionResistance (W)
A - B250
C - D250
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.
11. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals 3 and 2 for each
float position.
Float position mm (in.)Resistance (W)
F: Approx. 91.1 (1.36) ± 3 (0.12)Approx. 2.0 ± 1.0
1/2: Approx. 34.2 (2.06) ± 3 (0.12)Approx. 26.1 ± 3.0
E: Approx. 30.8 (5.31) ± 3 (0.12)Approx. 48.7 ± 1.0
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the sender
gauge.

12. INSPECT FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Connect terminals 1 and 3 on the wire harness side con-
nector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
13. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge
needle indicates COOL.
(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector
through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up
and the receiver gauge needle moves toward the hot
side.
If operation is as specified, replace the sender gauge.
Then recheck the system.
If operation is not as specified, measure the receiver gauge re-
sistance.
14. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals with fixing pointer to
the stopper.
