REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - FUEL SUCTION WITH PUMP AND GAUGE TUBE ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the C9 combination meter assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the F19 (for 2TR-FE) or F44 (2GR-FKS) fuel suction with pump and gauge tube assembly connector.

Standard Resistance (for 2TR-FE):

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
C9-21 (L) - F19-2	Always	Below 1 Ω
C9-21 (L) or F19-2 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
C9-23 (E3) - F19-3	Always	Below 1 Ω
C9-23 (E3) or F19-3 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

Standard Resistance (for 2GR-FKS):

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
C9-21 (L) - F44-2	Always	Below 1 Ω
C9-21 (L) or F44-2 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
C9-23 (E3) - F44-3	Always	Below 1 Ω
C9-23 (E3) or F44-3 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

4.	INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY

(a) Remove the fuel sender gauge assembly.

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

(b) Inspect the fuel sender gauge assembly.
