Toyota 4Runner: Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction
DESCRIPTION
- The fuel sender gauge 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.
NOTICE:
When the combination meter is removed or replaced, its connector is disconnected or fuel is added, the fuel receiver gauge display will return to normal within a maximum of 16 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to ON or when vehicle speed is input.
