METERS AND GAUGES - Service Adiustment Procedures 8-131
r
(harness side) 16W834
Stopper (upper)
FUEL GAUGE SIMPLE TEST NOEHICE
(1) Disconnect, from below the vehicle, the wiring connector
from the fuel gauge unit.
(2) Ground the connector at the harness through a test light.
(3) Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
(4) Check to be
sure that the test light flashes and the fuel
gauge indicator moves.
(5) If both the test light and gauge operate, the circuit to the
gauge unit is normal and the gauge unit itself is faulty.
If the test light flashes but the gauge does not operate, the
gauge is faulty.
If neither the test light nor the gauge operates, the fuel
gauge circuit is faulty.
FUEL GAUGE UNIT INSPECTION NOEHIIF
To check the fuel gauge unit, first remove it from the fuel tank.
For detailed information concerning installation of the fuel
gauge unit, refer to GROUP 4, FUEL SYSTEM - Fuel Tank.
FUEL GAUGE UNIT FLOAT POSITION CHECK
Check to be sure that the height of the fuel gauge float
(relative to the center part of the fuel gauge unit) is within the
standard value range when the float is at the “F” position
(upper limit) and “E” position (lower limit).
Standard value:
A 29.7-34.7 mm (1.170-I .366 in.)
B 183.8-185.8 mm (7.236-7.315 in.)
FUEL GA&E UNIT RESISTANCE CHECK
Confirm that the resistances when the float of the fuel gauge
unit is at the “F” position (top) and the “E” position (bottom)
are within the standard value ranges.
Standard value:
Float position “F” point 14.9-19.1 IR c
Float position “E” point 113.5-126.5 IR’
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE SIMPLE T,5$2
(1) Disconnect the wiring connector from the water tempera-
ture gauge unit inside the engine compartment.
(2) Ground the connector at the harness through a test light.
(3) Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
(4) Check to be sure that the test light flashes and the water
temperature gauge indicator moves. ,

FUEL GAUGE
Measure the resistance value between t.he terminals by using
an ohmmeter.
Standard value :
l-2 terminals:
2-3 terminals:
l-3 terminals: 23-27 R
122-148 Sz
100-120 IR
Caution
If there is a malfunction of the ground contact of the
voltage regulator even once during vehicle operation,
the excessive current flowing through the heat coil of
the water temperature gauge and the fuel gauge will
cause permanent distortion of the bimetal, resulting in
the indications being consistently lower than the actual
value.
For this reason, therefore, be sure to make the earth
contact securely.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Measure the resistance value between the terminals by using
an ohmmeter.
Standard value:
Bimetal type
l-2 terminals: 50-80 n
SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
2. INSTALLATION OF SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Insert the cable until its stopper properly fits to the
speedometer groove.
Caution
Poor installation of the cable may cause a fluctuating
meter pointer, or noise and a damaged harness inside
the instrument panel.
