Fuel Receiver Gauge

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lexus RX 300 and 2002 Lexus RX 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Because of the silicon oil in the gauge, it will take a short time for needle to stabilize.

Operation Inspection - Inspect the fuel receiver gauge operation. See FUEL GAUGE CIRCUIT under CIRCUIT TESTS.
- Disconnect the connector from the main sender gauge. Disconnect the battery terminal once then after 30 seconds, reconnect the terminal. Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge needle indicates EMPTY. Connect the main sender gauge.
- Disconnect the connector from the sub sender gauge. Disconnect the battery terminal once then after 30 seconds, reconnect the terminal. Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge needle indicates EMPTY.
If operation is not as specified, inspect the receiver gauge resistance, go to the next step.
Resistance Inspection - Remove the meter cover, A/C and combination meter integrated ECU and combination meter circuit plate. See COMBINATION METER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measure the resistance between terminals with fixing pointer to the stopper. See CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . See INSPECTING SPEEDOMETER ASSEMBLY RESISTANCE table. If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver gauge.
