Fuel Gauge Pointer Fluctuates, Indicator Wrong Value or VariesINFOID:0000000001328449
1.CHECK FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION
Test drive vehicle to see if gauge fluctuates onl y during driving or at the instant of stopping.
Does the indication value vary only during driving or at the instant of stopping?
YES >> The pointer fluctuation may be caused by fuel level change in the fuel tank. Condition is normal.
NO >> Ask the customer about the situation when the symptom occurs in detail, and perform the trouble
diagnosis.

Does it take a long time for the pointer to move to FULL position?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2.QUESTION 2
Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?
YES >> Be sure to fuel the vehicle with the ignition swit ch OFF. Otherwise, it will take a long time to move
to FULL position because of the c haracteristic of the fuel gauge.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.QUESTION 3
Is the vehicle parked on an incline?
YES >> Check the fuel level indication with vehicle on a level surface.
NO >> GO TO 4.
