download When replacing the meter circuit plate (or) inclination sensor, you
must perform the following calibration procedure to ensure proper
operation of the Fuel Gauge. This procedure supplements the diagnostic
steps for the combination meter. Reference the Repair Manual pages BE–38
through BE–54. S 1999 and 2000 model year 4Runner. 1. After replacing
the meter circuit plate or inclination sensor, move the vehicle to a
level location. (A surface with an inclination no greater than ±0.5° is
the target flatness.) 2. With the ignition switch in the “OFF”
position, press and hold the trip reset button. 3. Continue pressing
the trip reset button while turning the ignition switch to the “ON”
position.
4. Within 5 seconds of turning the ignition switch “ON”, release the
trip switch, press the trip switch 3 times, and on the third press hold
the switch for 5 seconds. The buzzer will sound for 1 second at 800 HZ.
5. After the buzzer stops, release the trip switch. 6. Press the trip
switch one more time and hold for 5 seconds. Once more, the buzzer will
sound for 1 second at 800 HZ. 7. The calibration process is completed.
NOTE: If in the operation of step 6, the buzzer sounds higher than that
of step 5, turn the ignition switch to “OFF” position and repeat the
setting procedure from step 2.
