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.
Tester connectionResistance (W)
A - B250
C - D250
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.

INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines, when the engine is cold.
If low, check for leaks and add ''Toyota Long Life Coolantº or Equivalent up to the ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap from the water outlet.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or water outlet
filler hole, and the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passages and replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.
