WIRING DIAGRAM

10AQ1: CHECK SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER OPERATION IN COMBINATION METER.

CHECK: Does speedometer and tachometer operate normally?

YES: Go to step 10AQ2.

NO: Repair or replace combination meter.

10AQ2: CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.

1. Turn ignition switch to ON. (Engine OFF)

Connector & Terminal - [(B136) No.27 (+) - Chassis Ground (-)]:





2. Measure voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.

CHECK: Is the voltage more than 4.75 V?

YES: Go to step 10AQ3.

NO: Even if MIL lights up, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. A temporary poor contact of the connector may be the cause.

NOTE: In this case, repair the following:
- Poor contact in fuel pump connector
- Poor contact in coupling connector (B22, R98 and R57)

10AQ3: CHECK INPUT VOLTAGE OF ECM.

1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect combination meter connector (i10) and ECM connector.
3. Turn ignition switch to ON.

Connector & Terminal - [(B136) No.27 (+) - Chassis Ground (-)]:





4. Measure voltage of harness between ECM and chassis ground.

CHECK: Is the voltage more than 4.75 V?

YES: Go to step 10AQ4.

NO: Repair battery short circuit between ECM and combination meter connector.

10AQ4: CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FUEL TANK CORD.

1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2. Separate fuel tank cord connector (R57) and rear wiring harness connector (R15)

Connector & Terminal - [(B136) No.27 - (R15) No.6]:





3. Measure resistance between ECM and fuel tank cord.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 5 Ohms?

YES: Go to step 10A05.

NO: Repair open circuit between ECM and fuel tank cord.

10AQ5: CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN FUEL TANK CORD AND CHASSIS GROUND.

Connector & Terminal - [(R15) No.5 - Chassis Ground]:





Measure resistance between fuel tank cord and chassis ground.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 5 Ohms?

YES: Go to step 10AQ6.

NO: Repair open circuit between fuel tank cord and chassis ground.

NOTE:
In this case, repair the following:
Poor contact in coupling connectors (B99 and B22)

10AQ6: CHECK FUEL TANK CORD.

1. Disconnect connector from fuel level sensor.

Connector & Terminal - [(R57) No.5 - (R58) No.3]:





2. Measure resistance between fuel level sensor and coupling connector.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 Ohms?

YES: Go to step 10AQ7.

NO: Repair open circuit between coupling connector and fuel level sensor.

10AQ7: CHECK FUEL TANK CORD.

1. Disconnect connector from fuel sub level sensor.

Connector & Terminal - [(R58) No.6 - (R58) No.2]:





2. Measure resistance between fuel level sensor and fuel sub level sensor.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 Ohms?

YES: Go to step 10AQ8.

NO: Repair open circuit between fuel level sensor and fuel sub level sensor.

10AQ8: CHECK FUEL TANK CORD.

Connector & Terminal - [(R57) No.6 - (R58) No.1]:





Measure resistance between fuel sub level sensor and coupling connector.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 Ohms?

YES: Go to step 10AQ9.

NO: Repair open circuit between coupling connector and fuel sub level sensor.

10AQ9: CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR.

WARNING: During work procedures, if fuel tank is more than 3/4 full, be careful because fuel may spill.

1. Remove fuel pump assembly.

Terminals - [No.3 - No.6]:





2. While moving fuel level sensor float up and down, measure resistance between fuel level sensor terminals.

CHECK: Is the resistance more than 54.5 Ohms?

YES: Replace fuel level sensor.

NO: Go to step 10AQ10.

10AQ10: CHECK FUEL SUB LEVEL SENSOR.

WARNING: During work procedures, if fuel tank is more than 3/4 full, be careful because fuel may spill.

1. Remove fuel sub level sensor.

Terminals - [No.1 - No.2]:





2. While moving fuel sub level sensor float up and down, measure resistance between fuel sub level sensor terminals.

CHECK: Is the resistance more than 41.5 Ohms?

YES: Replace fuel sub level sensor.

NO: Replace combination meter.
