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 check

1.Combination meter input signal

  1. Select meter/m&a on consult.
  2. Using FUEL METER of DATA 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?


Does the data monitor value approximately match the fuel gauge indication? YES >> Inspection End.

NO >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-77, "Removal and Installation".

Diagnosis procedure

Regarding wiring diagram information, refer to mwi-28, "wiring diagram".
