Fuel Gauge Fluctuates, Indicates Wrong Value, or VariesEKS00BCA
1. CHECK FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION
Test drive vehicle to see if gauge fluctuates only during driving or just before or just after stopping.
Does the indication value vary only during driving or just before or just after stopping?
YES >> The fluctuation may be caused by fuel level change in the fuel tank. Condition is normal.
NO >> Ask the customer about the situation when the symptom occurs in detail, Refer to DI-22, "
Fuel
Level Sensor Unit Inspection" .
Fuel Gauge Does Not Move to Full-positionEKS00BCB
1. CHECK POINTER MOVEMENT TO FULL-POSITION
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. CHECK IGNITION SWITCH POSITION
Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?
YES or NO
YES >> Be sure to fuel the vehicle with the ignition switch OFF. Otherwise, it will take a long time for the pointer to move to full-position because of the characteristic 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 indication with vehicle on a level surface.
NO >> GO TO 4.
4. CHECK POINTER MOVEMENT TO EMPTY-POSITION
During driving, does the fuel gauge move gradually toward empty-position?
YES or NO
YES >> Check the fuel level sensor unit. Refer to DI-25, "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT CHECK" .
NO >> Check fuel level sensor unit installation, and determine whether the float arm interferes or binds with any of the internal components in the fuel tank.

Calibration Procedure for CompassEKS00GBX
The difference between magnetic North and geographical North can sometimes be great enough to cause
false compass readings. In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone, it must be cali-
brated using the following procedure.
Zone Variation Chart
1. Determine your location on the zone map.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Press and hold the mode (N) switch for about 8 seconds. The current zone number will appear in the dis-
play.
4. Press the mode (N) switch repeatedly until the desired number appears in the display.
Once the desired zone number is displayed, stop pressing the mode (N) switch and the display will show a
compass direction after a few seconds.
NOTE:
Use zone number 5 for Hawaii.
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASS
The direction display is equipped with automatic correction function.
If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correction.

WARNING CHIME
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
System DescriptionEKS00BCP
FUNCTION
Power is supplied at all times

through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)

to BCM terminal 70, and

through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to key switch and key lock solenoid terminal 3.
With ignition switch in ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)

to BCM terminal 38.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 67

through body grounds M57, M61, and M79.
NOTE:
When ignition key warning chime, light warning chime, and seat belt warning chime are required at the same
time, the priorities for each chime are the following.
1. Light warning chime
2. Ignition key warning chime
3. Seat belt warning chime
IGNITION KEY WARNING CHIME
With the key inserted in the ignition switch, the ignition switch in OFF position, and the driver's door open, the
warning chime will sound.
Power is supplied

through key switch and key lock solenoid terminal 4

to BCM terminal 37.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 47

through front door switch LH terminal 2.
Front door switch LH is case grounded.
BCM detects key inserted into the ignition switch, and sends key warning signal to combination meter via CAN
communication lines. When the combination meter receives key warning signal, it sounds warning chime.
LIGHT WARNING CHIME
With the key removed from the ignition switch, the driver's door open, and the lighting switch (part of the com-
bination switch) in 1st or 2nd position, the warning chime will sound. [Except when headlamp battery saver
control operates (5 minutes after ignition switch is turned to OFF or ACC position) and headlamps do not illu-
minate.]
Signal is supplied

from combination switch (lighting switch) terminals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10

to BCM terminals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36.
NOTE:
BCM detected lighting switch in 1st or 2nd position. Refer to BCS-3, "
COMBINATION SWITCH READING
FUNCTION" .
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 47

through front door switch LH terminal 2.
Front door switch LH is case grounded.
BCM detects headlamps are illuminated, and sends light warning signal to combination meter CAN communi-
cation lines. When the combination meter receives light warning signal, it sounds warning chime.
SEAT BELT WARNING CHIME
When the ignition switch is turned ON with the seat belt unfastened [seat belt buckle pre-tensioner assembly
LH (seat belt buckle switch) unfastened], warning chime will sound for approximately 6 seconds.
