DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check the fuel gauge circuit.
(1) Disconnect D-13 fuel gauge unit connector.
(2) Connect a test lamp (12 V − 3.4 W) via test
harness (MB991219) between the wiring harness
connector terminals 1 and 2.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
Q: Does the test lamp illuminate?
YES :
Go to Step 4.
NO : . Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Connector check: Combination meter
connector C-06, fuel gauge unit connector D-13
Q: Is combination meter connector C-04, fuel gauge
unit connector D-13 in good condition?
YES :
Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged
component(s).
STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between
combination meter connector C-06 (terminal 51)
and fuel gauge unit connector D-13 (terminal 1).

NOTE: Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check
intermediate connector C-22 ,
C-120 , D-18, and repair if
necessary.
Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter
connector C-06 (terminal 51) and fuel gauge unit
connector D-13 (terminal 1) in good condition?
YES :
Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged
component(s). Then go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Retest the system.
Q: Is the fuel gauge normal?
YES :
The procedure is complete. If no
malfunctions are found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service
Points-How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction P.00-5).
NO : Replace combination meter.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge does not Work (the other meters
work).
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If only the engine coolant temperature gauge does
not operate, the combination meter, the wiring
harness or its connector may be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit
•The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or
terminals pushed back in the connector.
•Malfunction of the combination meter.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit.
Check to see that the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit operate normally. Refer to P.54A-61.
Q: Is the engine coolant temperature gauge unit
normal?
YES :
Go to Step 2.
NO : Replace the fuel gauge unit. Then go to step
4.
