FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001691293
The fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump detects the approx imate fuel level in the fuel tank and transmits the
fuel level signal to the combination meter.
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000001691294
1.COMBINATION METER INPUT SIGNAL
1. Select “METER/M&A” on CONSULT-III.
2. Using “FUEL METER” of “DATA MONITOR”, comp are the value of DATA MONITOR with fuel gauge
pointer of combination meter.
Does the data monitor value approximately match the fuel gauge indication?
YES >> Inspection End.
NO >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-76, "
Removal and Installation".
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000001691295
1.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check combination meter and fuel level sensor unit terminals (meter-side and harness-side) for poor con- nection.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Repair or replace terminals or connectors.
2.CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect combination meter connector and fuel level sensor unit connector.
2. Check continuity between combination meter harness connector
(B) and fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector
(A).
3. Check continuity between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector (A) and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> Repair harness or connector.

3.CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Check continuity between combination meter harness connector (B) and fuel level sensor uni t and fuel pump harness connector
(A).
2. Check continuity between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector (A) and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4
NO >> Repair harness or connector.
4.CHECK INSTALLATION CONDITION
Check fuel level sensor unit installation, and check whether the float arm interferes or binds with any of the
internal components in the fuel tank.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Inspection End.
NO >> Install the fuel level sensor unit properly.
Component InspectionINFOID:0000000001691296
1.REMOVE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT
Remove the fuel level sensor unit. Refer to FL-7, "
Removal and Installation".
>> GO TO 2
2.CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT AND FUEL PUMP
Check the resistance between terminals 2 and 5.
*1 and *2: When float arm is in contact with stopper.
Is inspection result normal?
YES >> Inspection End.
NO >> Replace fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump. Refer to FL-7, "
Removal and Installation".

RELAY CONTROL SYSTEM
System Description
INFOID:0000000001696481
IPDM E/R activates the internal cont rol circuit to perform the relay ON-OFF control according to the input sig-
nals from various sensors and the request signals received from control units via CAN communication.
CAUTION:
IPDM E/R integrated relays cannot be removed.
