Muti-function Display

Forgot a few functions. I've added to my list above.

It's more a 'range until low fuel light comes on'.

Every time I've tested it and seen my range get down into the 10s of kms left, I've still been waiting to see the fuel light come on, and when I've filled up there's been at least 20L still in the tank.

Still, it could be useful I guess.

Just because you had 20 ltrs left in the tank, does not mean you can get that 20 ltrs to the motor, the fuel pickup, does not go right to the bottom of the tank, there is always about 5cm from the bottom of the pickup to the tank wall, which probably equates to about 15 ltrs.

Would love to see some photos of these functions?

I have put 175 litres in once after experimenting with how far I could travel after the warning light came on, I wasn't brave enough to go any further, but it was still running no worries.

Precisely.

I have managed to get to the point of putting in over 170L on a number of occassions without any trouble at all while testing out the accuracy of the fuel gauge/warning light and the trip computer. I expect you could easily use up all but a couple of litres of fuel from the tanks before running into problems with the pickup.

I've found that if you try and fill up both tanks really quickly, the transfer from the rear to the front isn't quick enough. Once, I did this, then drove around for a day and went back to fill up and got much more in than what I have used in 1 day of driving.

the part number for a v6 2003 grande is 83265A computer accessory meter and is listed as $853 on the www.toyodiy site so it will be more than double that at your dealer . mine has it my old mans 2005 doesn't , he wasn't happy with that . i reckon the range computer is brilliant i barely look at the fuel guage . it also tells you if you back out of the throttle a bit you'll extend your range .

I just did a bit of a search and it appears that the part number for the 1kz is the same as the V6 (83265A) from the following link http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_G_200...html?hl=83265A

Rang Toyota today, he had the part numbers for the plastic lens, the function buttons, some thing else BUT didnt have it for the actual computer part of it ?? I gave him the numbers in the link that Justo77 posted earlier. Must be the same numbers as toyota cause as soon as I gave him that number he had to ring head office. he rang me back saying he needed chassis numbers of the grande and he had to write a letter to head office in Japan so they could add the computer part that is missing from the toyota parts list to the computer system so he could then give me a price on it. Lot of frigging around because toyota left a part number of its system, never heard of it before ?? Anyway in the end he said probably find that the sensors and stuff mightn be there for any of it to work properly. Because the part isnt in toyotas computer he couldnt track down via the screen he was on as to where everything hooked up. Seems the website Justo77 posted up is more up to date then toyota itself........Suprise suprise.....Cheers Steve

did you happen to ring the moron in the toyota dealer in sutherland. if you did , he's a lazy ' person ' and won't even look up wiper blades or brake pads unless you give him the chassis number .

I am also keen to see how this goes, I guess if was possible then wreckers will be getting lots of enquiries for wrecked Grandes.

I have contacted a number of wreckers in QLD,but none of them had a multi information display.Also fom what I can gather ther are 2 types.The field monitor and the muti information display.I think the scangauge will be the easyer option.

I think you need more than just the computer behind the display. You also need the 4-button assembly (83263) and the case assembly (83240B) as well as the plastic surround that goes around the 4-button panel (which I can't identify from toyodiy).

My main concern when I was looking up that part number was to find out if the computer had the same part number for the petrol as the diesel so I didnt really look at the other parts required as I wouldnt really consider buying one new.

But thanks anyway for the heads up, at least now I know what I need if I got one from a wrecker.

Yeah your right amts, not just a matter of replacing the LCD computer its all the other bits as well (4 all together I think it was). Im not even going to bother, Im just going to add a scanguage, alot less issues I reckon.Cheers Steve
