Toyota Tundra Service Manual: Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

  • The fuel sender gauge assembly has a variable resistance mechanism. The resistance decreases when the fuel amount increases, and the resistance increases when the fuel amount decreases. The fuel receiver gauge changes based on the resistance of the fuel sender gauge assembly.

CAUTION:

Be careful of flames.

NOTICE:

When replacing the combination meter assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a combination meter assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in it will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.
