Toyota Venza: Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

  • The meter CPU uses the fuel sender gauge assembly to determine the level of the fuel in the fuel tank. The resistance of the fuel sender gauge will vary between approximately 7.5 Ω with the float at the full position, and 185 Ω*1 or 225 Ω*2 with the float at the empty position. The meter outputs battery voltage through two 820 Ω resistors that are mounted in parallel inside the meter CPU. The meter CPU measures the voltage between the variable resistor in the fuel sender gauge and the two resistors mounted in parallel in the meter. Voltage measured at this point will vary as the float of the fuel sender gauge is moved. The highest voltage observed should be approximately half of the battery voltage.

  • *2: for AWD

HINT:

The fuel level warning light will come on when the fuel level is below 10.0 liters (10.6 Imp.qts, 8.8 US qts).

2.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL METER OPERATION)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.

(e) Check the operation by referring to the table below.

3.

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL INPUT)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.

(e) Check the values by referring to the table below.
