Mitsubishi 380. Manual - part 893

 

 

COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL

54A-106

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1: Range to empty always displays flashing "- - -" km (even when fuel tank 
is full. INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: Range to empty does not detect refuels (even when > 7 litres)

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The ignition switch (IG1) circuit is the power sup-

ply for the fuel gauge.

• When the float in the fuel level sensor moves, the 

circuit resistance will change.

• The fuel gauge needle is moved by a change in 

the circuit current.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

If only the fuel gauge does not operate, the fuel 
pump module, the fuel level sensor (sub), the combi-
nation meter, wiring harness or connector(s) may be 
defective.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-

90

• Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-

80

• Malfunction of the fuel pump module or fuel level 

sensor (sub)

• Malfunction of the trip computer/ combination 

meter

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector.

DIAGNOSIS 

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Harness Set

STEP 1. Check the fuel pump module.
Check to see if the fuel pump module is normal. Refer to 

P.54A-95

.

Q:  Is the fuel pump module normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Replace the fuel pump module (Refer to GROUP 

13B, Fuel Tank 

P.13B-6

). The fuel gauge should now 

operate normally.

STEP 2. Check the fuel level sensor (sub).
Check to see if the fuel level sensor (sub) is normal. Refer to 

P.54A-95

.

Q:  Is the fuel level sensor (sub) normal?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the fuel level sensor (Refer to GROUP 13B, 

Fuel Tank 

P.13B-6

).

STEP 3. Check fuel pump module connector D-18 for 
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is fuel pump module connector D-18 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace the component(s). Refer to GROUP 

00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

STEP 4. Test at fuel pump module connector D-18 to check 
the power circuit to the fuel pump module.
(1) Remove the rear seat (Refer to GROUP 52A, Rear Seat 

Assembly 

P.52A-55

).

(2) Use special tool MB991219 to connect a test lamp (12 V - 

3.4 W) between the wiring harness connector terminals 1 
and 2.

(3) Turn the Ignition switch to "ON" position.
(4) Check if the test lamp illuminates.

OK: Illuminates

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Measure the resistance at fuel pump module 
connector D-18 to check the ground circuit to the fuel 
pump module.
(1) Disconnect fuel pump module connector D-18, and 

measure at the wiring harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 1 and 

ground.

• The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between fuel pump 
module connector D-18 (terminal 1) and ground.
Q: Is the wiring harness between fuel pump module 

connector D-18 (terminal 1) and ground in good 
condition?
YES : 
Go to Step 7.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness. The range to empty display 

should now operate normally.

STEP 7. Check combination meter connector C-101 and 
fuel level sensor (sub) connector D-17 for loose, corroded 
or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector.
Q: Is combination meter connector C-101 and fuel level 

sensor (sub) connector D-17 in good condition?
YES : 
Go to Step 8.
NO :  Repair or replace the component(s). Refer to GROUP 

00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then g

to Step 4.
