FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT INSPECTION [4WD]


id0922000121b3

Warning
•  Highly pressurized fuel may spray out if the fuel line is cut. Due to the following dangers occurring with a fuel spray, always complete the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure” to prevent the fuel from spraying.
?  Fuel may cause irritation if it comes in contact with skin and eyes.
?  If fuel ignites and causes a fire, it may lead to serious injury or death, and damage to property and facilities.
Caution
•  Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting using a cloth or soft brush, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.
Note
•  The fuel gauge sender unit (main) is located in the fuel pump unit. Therefore when replacing the fuel gauge sender unit, refer to “FUEL PUMP UNIT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY”. (See FUEL PUMP UNIT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T].)

Fuel gauge sender unit (main)

1.  Complete the “BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION”. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T].)

2.  If the fuel gauge level indicates 3/4 or more, refer to the “FUEL DRAINING PROCEDURE” and drain the fuel. (See FUEL DRAINING PROCEDURE [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T].)

3.  Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

4.  Remove the second-row seat (LH). (See SECOND-ROW SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

5.  Remove the fuel pump unit. (See FUEL PUMP UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T].)

6.  Verify that the resistance between fuel pump unit terminals C and D is as indicated in the table.

Fuel gauge sender unit (sub)

1.  Complete the “BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION”. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T].)

2.  Refer to the “FUEL DRAINING PROCEDURE” and drain the fuel. (See FUEL DRAINING PROCEDURE [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T].)

3.  Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

4.  Remove the second-row seat (RH). (See SECOND-ROW SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

5.  Remove the fuel gauge sender unit (sub). (See FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [4WD].)
