ING
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776671
The fuel gauge needle will not move to “F” position when refueling.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003776672
1.OBSERVE FUEL GAUGE
Does it take a long time for the pointer to move to FULL position?
YES or NO
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> GO TO 3
2.IDENTIFY FUELING CONDITION
Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?
YES or NO
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.OBSERVE VEHICLE POSITION
Is the vehicle parked on an incline?
YES or NO
YES >> Check the fuel level indicati on with vehicle on a level surface.
NO >> GO TO 4
4.OBSERVE FUEL GAUGE POINTER
During driving, does the fuel gauge pointer move gradually toward EMPTY position?
YES or NO
YES >> Check the components. Refer to MWI-34, "Component Inspection".
NO >> The float arm may interfere or bind with any of the components in the fuel tank.

< DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY >
REAR DRIVE SHAFT
5. Remove the snap ring using a suitable tool, then remove the ballcage, steel ball, inner race assembly from the drive shaft.
6. Remove the boot from the drive shaft.
7. Remove any old grease on the housing using paper towels.
Wheel Side
1. Secure the drive shaft in a vise. CAUTION:
When securing the drive shaft in a vise, use copp er or aluminum plates between the vise and the
drive shaft.
2. Remove the boot bands, then remove the boot from the joint sub-assembly.
3. Screw a suitable drive shaft puller 30 mm (1.18 in) or more into the threaded part of the joint sub-assembly. Pull the joint sub-
assembly out of the drive shaft as shown.
CAUTION:
 If the joint sub-assembly cannot be removed after five ormore attempts, replace the drive shaft and joint sub-
assembly as a set.
 Align the sliding hammer and drive shaft and remove the
joint sub-assembly by pulling directly.
4. Remove the boot from the drive shaft.
5. Remove the circlip from the drive shaft.
6. While rotating the ball cage, remove any old grease on the joint sub-assembly using paper towels.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Drive Shaft
 Replace the drive shaft if there is any runout, cracking, or other damage.
Joint Sub-assembly
 Check for any rough rotation or unusual axial looseness.
 Clean any foreign material from inside the joint sub-assembly.
 Check for any compression scars, cracks, or fractures.
CAUTION:
If any defective conditions are found in the joint sub-assembly comp onents, replace the entire joint
sub-assembly.
Sliding Joint Side (Housing)
 Check for any compression scars, cracks, fracture s, or unusual wear on the ball rolling surface.
 Check for any damage to the drive shaft screws.
 Check for any deformation of the boot installation components.
Ball Cage
 Check the sliding surface for any compression scars, cracks, or fractures.
Steel Ball
 Check for any compression scars, cr acks, fractures, or unusual wear.
