Toyota FJ Cruiser (GSJ 10, 15 series). Instruction - part 329

ME–48

METER  –  METER / GAUGE SYSTEM

ME

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter assembly controls the fuel receiver gauge in accordance with the resistance of the 
fuel sender gauge that varies depending on the fuel remaining amount in the fuel tank.

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

(a) Disconnect the L5 fuel sender gauge assembly 

connector.

(b) Check the meter indicator conditions.
Standard

HINT:
This inspection creates an intentional short circuit between 
the connector terminals, to check the meter indicator 
operation.
NOTICE:
Perform the check quickly (within less than 10 seconds).
(c) Measure the voltage.

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter assembly controls the engine coolant temperature gauge in accordance with 
engine coolant temperature signals from the ECM.

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
(c) Select the item below from the Data List, and read the 

value displayed on the intelligent tester.

METER

HINT:
•

If the value is 0

°C (32°F), the sensor circuit is open.

•

If the value is 127.5

°C (262°F), the sensor circuit is 

shorted.

OK:

Coolant temperature displayed on the tester is 
between 75

°C (167°F) and 105°C (221°F) after 

warming up.
