FUEL GAUGE AND TANK UNIT

Fuel gauge On-Vehicle Inspection

1. Disconnect the fuel gauge wire connector.

2. Connect a 3.4 Watt test bulb 

1

 to the ground.

The  gauge  needle  should  more  the  middle  part  of  the

gauge.

Fuel Gauge Off-Vehicle Inspection

Use a circuit tester to measure the fuel gauge resistance.

Low Fuel Indicator Light Inspection

1. Disconnect the fuel tank unit wire connector.

2. Connect between terminal (YL) and (B).

3. Turn the key switch on. Check that the bulb lights.
If operation is not correct, remove and check the bulb or circuit.

Check level sensor operation

1. Remove the fuel tank unit.

2. Apply battery voltage between terminal (YL) and (B) through

a 3.4 watt bulb. Check that the bulb lights.

Note:
It will take a short time for the bulb light.
3. Submerge the sensor in fuel. Check that the bulb goes out.
If operation is not correct, replace the fuel tank unit.

BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT

The brake system warning light comes on while the parking
brake is set and the starter key is ON position.
Note:
The parking brake indicator light circuit is designed to
prevent driving of the vehicle with the parking brake on.
It does not indicate the condition of the parking brake
system.

The parking brake switch is in parallel with the brake fluid
switch.

The brake system warning light also comes on when reservoir
brake fluid level falls below the specified limit with the parking
brake released and the starter switch is ON position.
