Is there any real way to narrow down a stepper failure vs other board/ground/sensor failures? I've got a 99 LC with a fuel guage that is empty on the main tank, over the top full on the sub tank, no voltage gauge, and an oil pressure gauge pegged at max even when the car is off. I started...

That's what I was at first leaning towards, but seems odd to me it is empty for the main but over the top full for the sub. Makes me think maybe not as its clearly able to move. Also that fact there is no resistance on those pins seems odd?

Hi All, I am going through the process of figuring out why my instrument cluster is rather flaky. The gas gauge doesn't work (below empty for main tank and over the top for sub tank), recently voltage stopped working, and I've never had oil pressure (almost always off the top high even when car...

Aw figured it out. As I expected, PEBKAC as they say in the tech world (aka. I'm an idiot). The valve is righty loosey lefty tighty on the low pressure side? As soon as I opened it up the other direction things got flowing. Not sure why I watched the youtube video, wondered why he did it that...

Tried a couple things. I thought maybe my r134 can was out so swapped to a new one. The old one seemed to have some liquid but no charge. Using the new can brought the low pressure up higher from about 50 to 70psi. As suggested, I tried with the engine off preloading the high side, it took...

Thanks for your reply! Progressive over the last couple years. AFAIK the oil pressure has never really worked in the couple years I've owned the car. Once when I was driving it was actually working, but its typically spiked off the chart high, even when off. The fuel used to work. Then on...

Hi All, I have a 1999 VXR that I've had throughout the Middle East and am now in North America. Fairy recently the AC compressor was replaced, and the system was charged somewhat recently too. None the less, there must be a small leak and the system is empty again. I went to go charge it and...

Trying to get her ready for a summer of offroading and camping Tasks on the list 1) Figure out whats up with my instrument cluster (fuel gauge is the biggest offender but no oil pressure or voltage either 2) Sun roof drain causing leak ✅ 3) AC system (Tried recharging as system seems empty but...

Yeah thinking it's potentially the sender in both are acting up by chance for the fuel gauge. I filled the tanks the other day and now instead of it showing empty its off the charts full. Likely not a dead stepper as it moves, but a weird signal coming in. Not sure about oil pressure and voltage...

Hey Sergei. What manual is this from? Trying to find this diagram.

Good to see this thread is still alive. I just imported my Land Cruiser 100 to the US after living with it in the Middle East for a few years. Now I have a workshop I'm tired of living with these gauges, plus they have gotten worse. I've never had oil pressure. Then my sub tank fuel gauge...

Actually it might have worked. I let it idle for about 15 minutes reading it might have to relearn the mappings. Seems to be a lot smoother not. Could be because its also heated up now so will try it over the next couple of days but progress I think

@Zuberg @excessive Help I’ve made it worse! Swapped the filter. Got a 2 pack of cleaner for the MAF and throttle body. Did both. Now it’s almost worse. Harder to start and if I give it some throttle it dies when I let off. Any ideas?

Yep, 2UZ. Good idea. I'll give that a try tonight. Thanks!

Hi all. Just joining this forum and looking for some advice now I’m diving into my 1998 Land Cruiser VXR. I drove it around the Middle East the past couple years and have just imported to the United States. Now I have a workshop I’m looking to dive into issues I’ve ignored long enough or...
