Replacement of a faulty immobilizer is a vehicle is not simple as one would think. The defect in the fuel gauge might be caused by various factors. First, maybe during removal of the immobilizer, the transponder chip may have been damaged. Additionally, the wires and sensors connecting the engine and the fuel gauge may have been corroded or damaged. In turn, the fuel gauge stops giving accurate measurements

SOURCE: fuel gauge

there is a sending unit in the tank this has probably clogged or wore out it has a filter on it, with gas debries this will make your guages stop working correctly

replace sending unit by dropping tank with gas out of tank and then pull out sending unit replace with new one

SOURCE: fuel gauge is not reading

to the right , i am assuming to the "full tank" reading. am i right?

if i am right, the wire from the gas tank is sending a full tank signal what ever the content of the tank.

meaning the wire is shorted to ground.
or the sending unit is faulty. there is a short to ground reading between the sending unit.

you can test which one is faulty. remove the wire from the sending unit. observe the gauge. if the gauge would go to " empty" then the culprit is the sending unit. if it stays on " full tank", then the wire is faulty.

WARNING: GASOLINE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. BE VERY CAREFUL IN HANDLING NEAR THEM.

SOURCE: mercedes c180 fuel gauge giving mix reading

You can try to clean the ground behind the instrument cluster to see if that helps but most likely the sending unit has gone bad in the gas tank.

SOURCE: faulty reading on fuel gauge

this problem is caused by a defective gas gage sending unit, the sending unit is located inside the gas tank, the gas tank must be removed to replace the sending unit.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your info.My 2002 impala has an access panel behind the rear seat.I would like to know if I may have a ground problem with the sender.Do you have an idea where the ground would be for the sending unit?Thanks again."

I have a Toyota Hilux 2KD but having a problem with the cluster on fuel gauge and temperature gauge?
If you are having a problem with the fuel gauge and temperature gauge on your Toyota Hilux 2KD, there could be several possible causes. Some potential reasons for this issue include:
  • A faulty or damaged cluster: The cluster is the instrument panel on your vehicle that houses the gauges and displays important information such as the fuel level and engine temperature. If the cluster is faulty or damaged, it may not be able to accurately display the readings from the gauges.
  • A faulty or damaged fuel level sensor: The fuel level sensor is responsible for measuring the amount of fuel in the tank and sending that information to the cluster. If the sensor is faulty or damaged, it may not be able to accurately measure the fuel level and the gauge may not display the correct reading.
  • A faulty or damaged temperature sensor: The temperature sensor is responsible for measuring the engine temperature and sending that information to the cluster. If the sensor is faulty or damaged, it may not be able to accurately measure the temperature and the gauge may not display the correct reading.
In order to diagnose and fix the problem, it is recommended to have the vehicle assessed by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the specific cause of the issue and recommend the appropriate repair. It is important to address any issues with the gauges on your vehicle promptly, as they can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle.

My car over reves when i start it in the morning.it also cuts off when i prss brakes when about to stop
sounds like the Idle air control sensor, they sometime can be removed and cleaned, carbon builds up from the fuel burnt from the engine, leaving carbon deposits behind that make the sensor give faulty readings.

Have the fault codes read. Replace faulty items. Use only genuine items as non-genuine replacement are not always compatible with the OEM fitted CPU units. Check battery in the key and check the engine immobiliser for correct operation

Need schematic wiring diagram for 2002 Toyota Caldina
This is an (almost) impossible task. The immobiliser ECU which reads the key communicates with, and is controlled by, the engine ECU.
It's not possible to just "bypass" the system.
I said "almost" impossible because with the right tools, knowledge and unlimited time it may be possible to capture the code of a useable system, then design and build a black box to respond correctly to the engine ECU, which would allow engine operation.
If you have lost your only usable key, you need to order a new one (as you haven't indicated your exact model, I can't give you the correct part number - keys are different depending on model/engine).
You will also need a dealer who can programme a new key to your existing vehicle.
If your existing vehicle has problems with the immobiliser, you may be able to find a Toyota dealer to interrogate your OBD to see what the issue is. If not, replace the key transponder unit, then the ECU.
I've assumed you know it's an immobiliser issue, and that you've done the usual wiring and fuse checks etc.

My temp gauge and fuel gauge stopped working on my 1988 toyota pickup all of a sudden, what do you think?
Check all fuses with a test light. If all good, you will need to diagnose each circuit. Look for the temperature sensor, disconnect connector, ground test light and touch wire. Check to see if the gauge move. If it does, you will need a new sensor. Basically the test is the same for fuel gauge. Disconnect connector at the fuel tank and touch contact and see if gauge move. If it does, the sending more than likely is at fault. Make sure you test each wire as there will be a few. Use proper jack stands anytime you work under a car! Let me know your progress.
