FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001691293
The fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump detects the approx imate fuel level in the fuel tank and transmits the
fuel level signal to the combination meter.

MalfunctionReference
page
CAN COMM CIRC
[U1000] Malfunction is detected in CAN communication.
CAUTION:
Even when there is no malfunction on CAN communication system, malfunction may be
misinterpreted when battery has low voltage (when maintaining 7 - 8 V for about 2 sec-
onds) or 10A fuse [No. 19, located in
the fuse block (J/B)] is disconnected. MWI-28
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 lo
w voltage (when maintaining 7 - 8 V for about 2 seconds). MWI-29

Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000001691328
1.OBSERVE FUEL GAUGE
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.IDENTIFY FUELING CONDITION
Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?
YES or NO
YES >> Be sure to fuel the vehicle with the ignition swit ch OFF. Otherwise, it will take a long time to move
to FULL position because of the c haracteristic 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 indicati on with vehicle on a level surface.
NO >> GO TO 4
4.OBSERVE FUEL GAUGE POINTER
During driving, does the fuel gauge pointer move gradually toward EMPTY position?
YES or NO
YES >> Check the components. Refer to MWI-34, "Component Inspection".
NO >> The float arm may interfere or bind with any of the components in the fuel tank.
