Toyota Hilux KUN26, 1KD engine, Fuel Gauge does not drop below approximately a quarter full and vehicle has run out of fuel. I test the fuel sender at the combination meter and confirm fuel gauge is faulty and combination meter requires repair.
CAUTION: This video depicts engine running while the bonnet is open, this is performed by trained personnel aware of the dangers of reciprocating engine parts. To avoid serious injury or death, we strongly advise to carry out engine bay inspection with engine turned OFF.

Thank you for the post. It has help me out. The issue was in the instrument cluster. Reflowed some solder on resisters located on the instrument cluster circuit board and that repaired the fuel gauge issue. Keep posting videos on Toyota's repairs. You are helping a lot of DIY out there.

Very common problem with Toyota Hilux. Test procedure is correct. I have repaired 5 cluster's so far. Takes about 20 minutes.

Good to see a dealership not manned by apprentices . Real shame that we’ve come to a point where we have to warn people that you need to be trained to open the bonnet when the engine is running.

I have a 15 and 16 plate invincible with the same problem, you run out of diesel on quarter of a tank , A guy who works for me has a 13 plate hi lux that does the same. A very common issue

I have no power to the pump at all, nor can I measure the circumference of the pump cables.Then I found out that there is no pump in the tank of the car, even though the cables run there.

I have this problem ( wouldn’t go below 1/4) I disconnected the plug from the top of the tank and the gauge dropped to empty with light on. Does this mean it’s the sender unit ?

Great video, very informative. I have this problem with mine. How long does it take to send away the gauge cluster to get it repaired? I figure the vehicle is not drivable in the meantime? Cheers

Thanks so much for visiting our channel and subscribing😀 Turnaround time for this repair is normally 2 days. We drop it off with the repairer and pick it up. You can continue to drive the vehicle until you remove the combination meter to get it repaired, provided you keep track of the fuel you use.

Great video, I think mine has this issue, although it seems better since I disconnected the battery to replace it, maybe it reset? What is the rough cost of the gauge repair? Cheers.
