FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146081
The fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump detects the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank and transmits the
fuel level signal to the combination meter.
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000005146082
1.COMBINATION METER INPUT SIGNAL
1. Select “METER/M&A” on CONSULT-III.
2. Using “FUEL METER” of “DAT A MONITOR”, compare 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-100, "
Removal and Installation".
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005146083
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to MWI-41, "Wiring Diagram".
1.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check combination meter and fuel level sensor uni t 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 uni t and fuel pump harness connector
(A).
3. Check continuity between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector (A) and ground.

CAN COMM CIRC
[U1000] Malfunction is detected in CAN communication.
CAUTION:
Even when there is no ma
lfunction on CAN communication system, malfunction may be
misinterpreted when battery has low voltag e (when maintaining 7 - 8 V for about 2 sec-
onds) or 10A fuse [No. 3, located in the fuse block (J/B)] is disconnected. MWI-26
VEHICLE SPEED
CIRC
[B2205]Malfunction is detected when an erroneous speed signal is input.
CAUTION:
Even when there is no malfunction on speed signal system, malfunction may be misin-
terpreted when battery has low voltage (whe
n maintaining 7 - 8 V for about 2 seconds). MWI-27
