  • 90L Fuel Light after Dash Replacement

    Hi all,

    Our Prado went in for a new Dash replacement a few months back and ever since we dont get the 90L light (second tank)?

    I check the manual though there isnt any detail in there about how it should work.

    It worked like this before:
    1. Fill both Tanks to the brim
    2. Once the first tank is nearly empty the gauge would show half
    3. The 90L light would come on, and then the gauge would go to Full again for second tank
    4. The second tank would then go from Full to Empty with orange light coming on when nearly empty


    Now, we dont have any 90L light and the gauge goes from Full to Empty, for what I presume if both tanks. So the first half is first tank, second half is second tank.

    Which one is correct?

    Cheers,

    KS

    Your first description is how it should work.
    Did they change your speedo cluster? If not then its weird its doing what you say.

      No cluster change, just the Dash. Might have to call them. I thought it was just a setting somewhere and I needed to set it back to that way.

      Could be as simple as a plug not plugs in. Who knows.

        Its still doing this, and havent had time to get back to Toyota Dealer. Before I do, I might pull out the cluster and have a look.

        Any more ideas since my last post?

          So is the gauge really representing the fuel level of the whole 180L now? At halfway mark, there is 90L left and at empty mark, the tanks are pretty much empty? If so, that's great and how it really should be. Unlike the original design that confuses people.

            I just checked mine on a quick trip over to the hunting lodge in the Snowy mountains.

            Got 722 kms from the tank before 90L came on and gauges went back up to full.
            Stopped at 730kms and filled to the brim. Took 100.22 litres.

            So my gauge is working as it describes in the manual.

            I'd imagine all dashes have a slight variation in gauges.

              There is a big plug or plugs on the back of the cluster , bit vague as it was a long time ago I messed
              around in that area. The plugs are located via screws and are a bit fiddly, might be simple as the plugs not being fully in.

                Yep, thats how its working now. Though I haven't let it run dry to find out if E means E. :P

                I will pull out the cluster and check the plugs. It also stopped lights up D while in Drive, so might just be a dicky connection.

                  The gauge works as you first wrote:

                  Goes from full to a little under half, that is the first tank or around 100 litres in mine, the light comes on then the gauge jumps back to full when the first tank is empty, it now shows the contents of the second tank, ie when it gets to half you have half of the second tank remaining or around 45 Litres.

                  If the gauge is not functioning since they replaced the dash they have upset something.

                    Can someone post a photo of how the 90L light looks like?
