Engine Coolant Temperature Signal InspectionNKS002ZR
Symptom: Water temperature gauge indication is malfunction.
1. CHECK COMBINATION METER INPUT SIGNAL
1. Connect CONSULT-II, and start engine.
2. Select “METER A/C AMP” on CONSULT-II.
3. Using “W TEMP METER” on “DATA MONITOR”, compare the value of “DATA MONITOR” with water temperature gauge
pointer of combination meter.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Replace combination meter.
2. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. INPUT SIGNAL
1. Select “ENGINE” on CONSULT-II.
2. Using “COOLAN TEMP/S” on “DATA MONITOR”, print out the CONSULT-II screen.
3. Select “METER A/C AMP” on CONSULT-II.
4. Using “W TEMP METER” on “DATA MONITOR”, compare the value of “DATA MONITOR” with that of the “COOLAN TEMP/S”.
OK or NG
OK >> Perform ECM self-diagnosis. Refer to EC-119, "CON-
SULT-II Function (ENGINE)" (VQ35DE) or EC-780,
"CONSULT-II Function (ENGINE)" (VK45DE).
NG >> Replace unified meter and A/C amp. Refer to DI-37,

Amp." .
Fuel Level Sensor Signal InspectionNKS002ZS
Symptom:

Fuel gauge indication is malfunctioning.

Low-fuel warning lamp indication is irregular.
NOTE:
The following symptoms are not malfunctions.
Fuel gauge

Depending on vehicle posture or driving circumstance, the fuel level in the tank varies, and the pointer
may fluctuate.

If the vehicle is fueled with the ignition switch ON, the pointer will move slowly.
Low-fuel warning lamp

Depending on vehicle posture or driving circumstance, the fuel in the tank flows and the warning lamp ON
timing may change.
Water temperature gauge pointer Reference value of data monitor [ °C ( °F)]
Hot Approx. 130 (266)
Middle Approx. 70 - 105 (158 - 221) Cold Approx. 50 (122)
