 Stores histories when warning/indicator lamp is turned on.
 “W/L ON HISTORY” indicates the “TIME” when the warning/ indicator lamp is turned on.
 The “TIME” above is:
- 0: The condition that the warning/indicator lamp has been turned on 1 or more times after starting the engine and waiting for 30 seconds.
- 1 - 39: The number of times the engine was restarted after the 0 condition.
- NO W/L ON HISTORY: Stores NO (0) turning on history of warning/indicator lamp.
NOTE:
 W/L ON HISTORY is not stored for approximately 30 seconds after the engine starts.
 Brake warning lamp does not store any history when the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid level gets
low.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000006221748
1.CHECK COMBINATION METER OUTPUT SIGNAL
Select the “Data Monitor” for the “METER/M&A” and compare the “FUEL ME TER” monitor value with the fuel
gauge reading on the combination meter.
Does monitor value match fuel gauge reading?
YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-85, "
Removal and Installation".
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000006221749
1.CHECK COMBINATION METER INPUT SIGNAL
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Check voltage between combination meter harness connector and ground.
Does it match fuel gauge reading?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Replace the combination meter. Refer to MWI-85, "
Removal and Installation".
2.CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect combination meter connector and fuel level sensor unit connector.
3. Check continuity between combination meter harnes s connector and fuel level sensor unit harness con-
nector.
4. Check continuity between combination meter harness connector and ground.
