STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between
combination meter connector C-04 (terminal 43)
and fuel gauge unit connector D-15 (terminal 1)
<2WD> or fuel pump and gauge unit (main)
connector D-16 (terminal 2) <4WD>.

NOTE:

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check fuel
gauge unit (sub) connector D-12, intermediate
connector C-117, D-24, and repair if necessary.

Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter

connector C-04 (terminal 43) and fuel gauge unit
connector D-15 (terminal 1) <2WD> or fuel pump
and gauge unit (main) connector D-16 (terminal 2)
<4WD> in good condition?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Repair or replace the damaged
component(s). Then go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Retest the system.

Q: Is the fuel gauge normal?

YES :

The procedure is complete. (If no

malfunctions are found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service
Points-How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction

P.00-6

).

NO :

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Connector check: Fuel gauge unit
connector D-15 <2WD> or fuel pump and gauge
unit (main) D-16 <4WD>

Q: Is fuel gauge unit connector D-15 <2WD> or fuel

pump and gauge unit (main) D-16 <4WD> in good
condition?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :

Repair or replace the damaged
component(s).

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between fuel
gauge unit connector D-15 (terminal 2) <2WD>
and fuel pump and gauge unit connector D-16
(terminal 1) <4WD> and earth.

NOTE:

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check
intermediate connectors D-24, and repair if
necessary.

Q: Is the wiring harness between fuel gauge unit

connector D-15 (terminal 2) <2WD> and fuel pump
and gauge unit connector D-16 (terminal 1) <4WD>
and earth in good condition?

YES :

Go to Step 7.

NO :

Repair or replace the damaged
component(s).

STEP 7. Retest the system.

Q: Is the fuel gauge normal?

YES :

).

NO :

Carry out the troubleshooting again.

STEP 8. Check the fuel gauge circuit.
(1) Disconnect D-15 <2WD> fuel gauge unit

connector or D-16 <4WD> fuel pump and gauge
unit (main) connector.

(2) Connect a test lamp (12 V

−

3.4 W) via special

tool test harness (MB991219) between the wiring
harness connector terminals 1 and 2.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

Q: Does the fuel gauge in the combination meter

fluctuate about half of it full scale?

YES :

Replace the fuel gauge unit.

NO :

Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Retest the system.

Q: Is the fuel gauge normal?

YES :

The procedure is complete. (If no

malfunctions are found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge does not Work. (the other meters
work.)

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If only the engine coolant temperature gauge does
not operate, the combination meter, the wiring
harness or its connector may be defective.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

•

Malfunction of the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit

•

The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or
terminals pushed back in the connector.

•

Malfunction of the combination meter.

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the engine coolant temperature
gauge circuit.
(1) Disconnect the B-109 engine coolant

temperature gauge unit connector.

(2) Connect a test lamp (12 V

−

3.4 W to 12 V

−

7.0

W) to the wiring harness side connector.

(3) Ignition switch: ON

Q: Does the test lamp illuminate?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Go to Step 2.
