Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Meter / Gauge / Display / Meter / Gauge System / Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the meter CPU receives engine coolant temperature signals from the ECM using the CAN communication system (CAN V1 Bus). The meter CPU displays engine coolant temperature that is calculated based on the data received from the ECM.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

If there is an open or short in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit, the ECM stores the DTCs. Troubleshoot the SFI System (for 2TR-FE) (See page ) . ) or SFI System (for 2GR-FKS) (See page PROCEDURE ) .

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

(a) Check if a CAN communication DTC is output (See page Result Result ).

Result

Result	Proceed to
CAN communication DTC is not output	A
CAN communication DTC is output	B

GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

2.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMPERATURE)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.

(e) According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.

OK:

Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the engine coolant temperature receiver gauge indication.

REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

3.	CHECK ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM

(a) Check if a engine control DTC is output.

for 2TR-FE: (See page )
for 2GR-FKS: (See page )

Result

Result	Proceed to
Engine control DTC is not output	A
Engine control (for 2TR-FE) DTC is output	B
Engine control (for 2GR-FKS) DTC is output	C

Tachometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION In this circuit, the meter CPU receives engine speed signals from the ECM using the CAN communication system (CAN V1 Bus). The meter CPU displays the engine speed calculated based on ...

Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction

DESCRIPTION The meter CPU uses the fuel sender gauge assembly to determine the level of the fuel in the fuel tank. The resistance of the fuel sender gauge will vary between approximately 13.5 Ω ...

Low Output Signal of Front Speed Sensor RH (Test Mode DTC) (C1271,C1272,C1401,C1402)
DESCRIPTION The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid). These signals are used for brake control. The speed sensor rotors have rows of alternating N and S magnetic poles and their magnetic fields change when t ...

Cruise Control Switch Circuit
DESCRIPTION The cruise control main switch is used to turn the dynamic radar cruise control system on and off, as well as operate 7 functions: SET, - (COAST), TAP-DOWN, RES (RESUME), + (ACCEL), TAP-UP and CANCEL. The SET, TAP-DOWN and - (COAST) functions, and the RES (RESUME), TAP-UP and + ( ...

Removal
REMOVAL CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT CAUTION: Some of these service operations affect the SRS airbag system. Read the precautionary notices concerning the SRS airbag system before servicing (See page ). If the side airbag was deployed, replace the front seat assembly with a ne ...
