Diagnostic Method

Calculate the Max. value (delflmax) and cumulative value (sumfl) of output voltage variation of fuel level sensor during 12.8 seconds. Judge it normal when both max. and cumulative values are not over the threshold value. Otherwise, when either of them is over the threshold value, the diagnosis counter counts up. Judge as NG if the counter indicated 6 counts.

Judge as NG if the criteria below are met.

Judgment Value 

JUDGMENT VALUE

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
Integrated times of the condition reaching follows,
DELFLMAX ≥ 0.27 - 0.894 V or SUMFL ≥ 25.92 V
At this time
DELFLMAX is Max. deviation of sensor output during 12.2 seconds
SUMFL: Integrated value of sensor output deviation in 12.2 seconds
≥ 4 times

The diagnosis counter does not count up when the following conditions are completed within 12.2 seconds.

TANK PRESSURE CHART

Maximum value - minimum value of change of tank pressure during 12.2 seconds ≥ 0.05 kPa (0.375 mmHg, 0.02 inHg)
Maximum value - minimum value of battery voltage during 12.2 seconds ≥ 0.27 V

Time Needed for Diagnosis:  12.2 seconds x 4 times

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.

Judge as OK and clear the NG when the malfunction criteria below are met.

Judgment Value 

JUDGMENT VALUE

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
DELFLMAX < 0.27 - 0.894 V
SUMFL
At this time
DELFLMAX is Max. deviation of sensor output during 12.2 seconds
SUMFL: Integrated value of sensor output deviation in 12.2 seconds
< 25.92 V
