Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[oj88]

It's true that there's potential that there's something wrong with your vehicle. However, if it doesn't reoccur, then chalk it up as a function, not a bug.

Just to quote somebody else who understands how the instrument cluster fuel gauge works....

Disclaimer: This may or may not be the standard for all manufacturers but I know well enough that they always use some sort of algorithm on said gauge. I have personally experienced the phenomenon in some form or another on about every car I've driven since the 90's.

The instrument cluster uses 4 different operating modes to calculate the fuel level:

1. Anti-slosh (default mode)
2. Key OFF fueling
3. Key ON fueling
4. Recovery

After a fuel fill up, the time for the fuel gauge to move from empty (E) to full (F) ranges from 2 seconds to 55 minutes depending on which operating mode the fuel gauge is in.

A. The default fuel gauge mode is called the anti-slosh mode. To prevent fuel gauge changes from fuel slosh (gauge instability due to changes in fuel sender readings caused by fuel moving around in the tank), the fuel gauge takes approximately 55 minutes to go from empty (E) to full (F).

B. The key OFF fueling mode (2 seconds to read empty [E] to full [F]) requires 3 conditions be met:

The key must be in the OFF position throughout the entire refueling of the vehicle.

At least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity must be added to the fuel tank.

The instrument cluster must receive a valid key ON fuel sender reading within 1 second of the key being put into the RUN position. The key ON sample readings are considered valid if the fuel sender reading is between 15 ohms ± 2 ohms and 160 ohms ± 4 ohms.

If these conditions are not met, the fuel gauge stays in the anti-slosh mode, which results in a slow to read full (F) event.

C. The key ON fueling mode (approximately 90 seconds to read empty [E] to full [F]) requires 3 conditions be met:

The transmission is in PARK (P).
The key is in the RUN position.
At least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity must be added to the fuel tank.

In key ON fueling mode, a 30-second timer activates after the transmission is put into the PARK (P) position (automatic transmissions). When the 30-second time has elapsed and at least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity has been added, the fuel gauge response time is 90 seconds to read from empty (E) to full (F). When the transmission is shifted out of PARK (P), the fuel gauge strategy reverts to the anti-slosh mode. The key on refueling mode prevents slow to read full events from happening if the customer refuels the vehicle with the key in the RUN position.

D. Recovery mode is incorporated into the instrument cluster strategy to recover from a missing fuel level input during a refueling event. Missing fuel level inputs result from intermittent opens in the fuel sender or its circuits. Recovery mode (empty [E] to full [F] approximately 20 minutes) is initiated when the following 2 conditions are met:

The instrument cluster is in the anti-slosh (default) mode.
The actual fuel level in the tank is greater than what is being displayed by the fuel gauge.

So depending on which of your actions triggered which mode, the gauge may not indicate the correct fuel quantity for a while.

Would you want a better-equipped Toyota Innova? | Visor

Recently, Toyota Malaysia launched a new variant of the Innova called the X.

Changes include front and rear bumper spoilers, over-fenders, rocker lower molding, blacked-out 17-inch wheels, automatic LED headlamps, a black grille with dark chrome accents, a new nine-inch infotainment system, a wireless charger; third-row USB charge points, and a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert.

There are also interesting optional features like Toyota Premium Security and Solar Film, as well as a dashboard camera for the front and the rear.

This particular variant is very similar to the Innova Venturer of Indonesia. On the other hand, the Innova in Thailand, particularly the Crysta Premium, has cruise control.

ang ganda, pero baka mas mura pa ang hyndai staria kaysa dito

this should be the new touring sport when it arrives here. the old touring sport (pre facelift) was basically a 2.8e with some body kit, blacked out 16' wheels and auto alarm.

using Bnew 2022 innova E. ok lang po kaya magparetrofit ng headlights? ang concern ko lang po ay yung warranty.

Void electrical warranty yan. Pati headlight void din warranty. Pag medyo kups pa SA mo, void buong warranty

But warranties are over rated.

Go lang. Find a good installer. Btw, be prepared magkaroon ng blisters yung itim na part sa ilalim ng headlight mo. Nasusunog kasi yun dahil sa araw. Parang magnifying glass kasi ang effect nya pag naaninagan ng araw.

salamat po. ililipat ko rin po kasi ung DRL ko from other car.

Isang option mo sir is palitan mo nalang muna ng LED light yung stock na bumbilya habang nasa warranty period ka pa...

sakin GPNE Led nakalagay low and high pati fog light.. so far may liwanag naman ang buhay... :D

[sirkosero]

salamat po. ililipat ko rin po kasi ung DRL ko from other car.

Yung kilay? Suggestion ko, wag na lang. Di bagay eh.

Or lagyan mo na lang ng demon eye at yun gawin mong DRL.
