INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4: Fuel gauge does not work (the other meters work.) 

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If only the fuel gauge does not operate, fuel gauge 
unit <2WD>, the fuel pump and gauge unit <4WD>, 
the combination meter, wiring harness or 
connector(s) may be defective.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

•

Malfunction of the fuel gauge unit.

•

The wiring harness or connectors may have 
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or 
terminals pushed back in the connector.

•

Malfunction of the combination meter.

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE 

STEP 1. Check the fuel gauge circuit.
(1) Disconnect D-15 <2WD> fuel gauge unit 

connector or D-16 <4WD> fuel pump and gauge 
unit (main) connector.

(2) Connect a test lamp (12 V 

−

 3.4 W) via test 

harness (MB991219) between the wiring harness 
connector terminals 1 and 2.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

Q: Does the test lamp illuminate?

YES : 

Go to Step 8.

NO : 

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Connector check: Combination meter 
connector C-04, fuel gauge unit connector D-15 
<2WD> or fuel pump and gauge unit (main) 
connector D-16 <4WD>

Q: Is combination meter connector C-04, fuel gauge 

unit connector D-15 <2WD> or fuel pump and 
gauge unit (main) connector D-16 <4WD> in good 
condition?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Repair or replace the damaged 
component(s).
