Precautions

Precautions in Diagnosing Troubles for Combination Meter

S5JB0B9300001

Combination meter uses signals (information) from each control module by CAN communication to control 
speedometer, tachometer, engine coolant temp meter, warning light and indicator light (other than air bag warning 
light, headlight leveling warning light, rear fog light and turn signal indicator lamp). Therefore, check that no DTC is 
detected in each module before performing combination meter symptom diagnosis. If any DTC is detected, correct 
trouble indicated by that DTC troubleshooting first.

General Description

CAN Communication Data of Combination Meter

S5JB0B9301001

Combination meter communicates with each control module about the following information. For details of CAN 
communication, refer to “CAN Communication System Description in Section 1A”.

Low Fuel Warning Light Symptom Diagnosis

S5JB0B9304005

NOTE
Confirm that fuel meter is in good condition before referring to the following possible causes.
• When fuel level sensor signal circuit is open or short circuit, fuel level meter indicates empty even if 

fuel tank does not empty.

• The low fuel warning light comes ON when fuel level is lower than specification below.

Repair Instructions

Fuel Level Sensor Inspection

S5JB0B9306005

• Check that resistance between terminals “a” and “b” 

of fuel level sensor changes with change of float 
position.

• Check resistance between terminals “a” and “b” at 

each float position in the following.
If the measured value is out of specification, replace.

Main fuel level sensor [A] specifications

Sub fuel level sensor [B] specifications
