Fuel level sensor mitsubishi lancer 9 DIY repair

In detail: fuel level sensor Mitsubishi Lancer 9 DIY repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

You will need: a socket wrench "for 8", a knife.

1. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the storage battery.

3. Using a knife, pry the hatch cover at the base of the body above the fuel level indicator sensor and remove it.

The cover is glued with sealant.

4. While pressing the release tab, disconnect the transmitter harness connector.

5. Remove the three nuts securing the sensor body to the fuel tank.

6.. and carefully remove the fuel level sensor from the tank together with the rubber gasket, taking care not to damage the float and other parts.

Be sure to replace the gasket if it is torn or badly crimped.

7. Install the sensor and all removed parts in the reverse order of removal. At the same time, glue the sunroof cover over the fuel level indicator sensor with sealant.

I started repairing the sensor, like many others, by bending the slider. But not even a year had passed and the problem came to visit me again. This time I had to take a closer look at this issue. The essence of the problem is the wear of the bushing in which the float axis rotates.

Pay attention to how far the slider moves away when the float is lowered (empty tank):

1. Cut out a rectangle from the PCB (3-4mm):

2. At this plate we grind on the large sides of the chamfer. We cut out the clamp in the form of a Chevrolet nameplate from the tin and squeeze the plate along the chamfers so that the metal of the clamp does not protrude onto the plane of the PCB.

3. We put the ends of the clamp under the sensor and fix it with the bracket of the sensor itself.

The report used materials from the author “mits163”, for which many thanks to him!

I also have a problem with the sensor does not show the fuel level only when the floor of the tank does not go lower, I even bought a new sensor, it is still a problem. Tell me what to do?

First, make sure the tidy is in good working order.
With the ignition switch off, remove the electrical connector from the fuel sensor.
Incl. the ignition switch to the "АСС" position, the fuel level should show a full tank.
Off ignition lock and close the contacts in the electrical connector. In this case, when incl. ignition lock, the fuel level on the tidy should show an empty tank.
Read this thread from another forum and follow the link in this thread:
https://my.housecope.com/wp-content/uploads/ext/530/index.php?showtopic=3415

I tried it all. I'll look in the inside of the tidy thanks for the link.

Hello, I have the following problem with the sensor, after refueling everything is fine, but sometimes the fuel level drops sharply, although there are actually 20 liters in the tank, and it shows an empty tank on the instrument panel, but after a while the arrow rises to the real fuel level. how to deal with it?

From what you wrote, I come to the following conclusions: at a certain level of fuel
(20 liters) the moving part of the FLS periodically loses contact with the stationary one.
Remove the FLS from the tank, check my assumption and if it is correct, try to restore contact in the entire measuring range of the sensor. Perhaps at this stage of the problem it will be enough to simply bend the movable slider in order to displace it from the track worn from long use.

Hello, there is a problem, the fuel gauge works fine until half of the tank, then the arrow drops to zero and the light comes on, but there is still a lot of fuel, I took out the FLS from the tank, I did not find anything, put everything in its place, I can’t start it, who can help.

In your case, it is better to check the sensor not visually, but with a tester. Perhaps, somewhere in the middle, the potentiometer track is worn or broken.
Why the car won't start, I won't tell you. Maybe something else was turned off?

Good day. The problem is this! I bent the slider, put everything in place, but the fuel level is now always from the floor of the tank and above, it does not drop below. There is very little information on the net about this. During assembly, we hooked up the sensor with an electrical connector without screwing it to the tank, they wanted to test it. Whether this could affect the operation of the sensor. Guys, how to be? Help me please?

Haven't tried experimenting as suggested in the second comment?

Good afternoon! The same problem with FLS. At the beginning of the problem, how did I begin to notice the arrows running up and down, and now it does not work at all. At least before the cut-off, fill up. Advise, is it better to chemize or replace?

From the "Lancer Repair Manual":
1. Check the resistance value between
fuel level meter terminal
and the ground terminal when the float
the meter is between the position
"F" (full) and position "E" (empty).
F position = 3 ± 1 ohm
Position E = 110 ± 1 ohm
2. Make sure the resistance is changing
smoothly when moving the float between
position "F" (full) and position "E"
(empty).
3. If the test results match
norm, go to checking the position of
the height of the float of the fuel level meter.
If the test results do not match
ok, replace the fuel gauge
in the tank.

Help solve the problem on the correct installation of the fuel sensor on the tank, on the Mitsubishi lancer 10! (There may be some marks), the sensor shows incorrect readings!

Tell me how to properly fix the fuel sensor on the tank at the moments of creep, on the hairpins (tags)

1. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the storage battery.

3. Using a knife, pry the hatch cover at the base of the body above the fuel level indicator sensor and remove it.

The cover is glued with sealant.

4. While pressing the release tab, disconnect the transmitter harness connector.

5. Remove the three nuts securing the sensor body to the fuel tank.

6.. and carefully remove the fuel level sensor from the tank together with the rubber gasket, taking care not to damage the float and other parts.

Be sure to replace the gasket if it is torn or badly crimped.

7. Install the sensor and all removed parts in the reverse order of removal. At the same time, glue the sunroof cover over the fuel level indicator sensor with sealant.

Before starting the repair, you need to make sure that the dashboard is functioning normally. To do this, you need to conduct a simple test: turn off the ignition and remove the connector from the fuel level sensor, then turn the ignition key to the ACC position. The sensor should show a full tank. After that, you need to turn off the ignition and close the connector contacts. In this case, when the ignition is turned on, the sensor will indicate an empty tank. If the tidy works, you need to proceed to repairing the fuel level sensor.

A common problem of the ninth generation Lancer is the failure of the fuel level sensor. The problem is in the bushing on which the float rotates. For repairs, a 3-4 mm plastic plate is required. thick rectangular shape. The plate must be wrapped with a piece of aluminum and installed in the sensor body.

All Respect, there is a problem with the fuel level sensor. It shows the amount of fuel only when the tank is full, as soon as the gasoline becomes a little less than half, the arrow immediately drops to zero. The photo below shows that most likely the problem is that the board has a large output on the left On the other hand, the question arises whether it is possible to fix this or is it necessary to buy a new sensor? Thank you very much for your attention, if someone advises something, I will be glad)

should be under the siduha. unscrew, pull out, change.

I also have a sensor driving. I am km. forty n6a in reserve drove, and I have waxed up to a full tank of only 31 liters. What the hell? and until the middle, when it falls from the top mark, it seems to show. will then raise 23 liters from the top mark to the middle. what for gon? some kind of guidance on our sensors (((

to Jeka73: The sensor float may have leaked and drowned.

First, remove the connector from the sensor and look at the readings of the device to rule out a wiring malfunction.

When I bought my car, the fuel gauge did not work.
I learned on the site that I am not alone. However, here and there they advised to score on the problem and drive on a light bulb (odometer).
But having driven like this for several months, I decided that I didn’t like it when I was in the car that something didn’t work.
As a result, I decided to fix the troubles.
During the tests, it turned out that the indicator in the tidy smoothly changes its readings depending on the resistance with a mass equal to from 140 to 1 Ohm.
Having established that the sensor in the tank was faulty, he immediately dismantled it.
I must say, I prepared nichrome in advance and decided, if necessary, to change the sensor to Zhiguli, bypassing it with the necessary resistor. But everything turned out to be much simpler.

The pointer slider is coated with oxides and becomes non-conductive.
Cleaning the winding and slider with felt and we have a working sensor again.

Time did not take much more than half an hour, counting the time spent on removal and installation.

PS For reference. The fuel gauge on Exist is supplied complete with a gasoline pump and costs 16,098.26 rubles.

A malfunction of the fuel pump of Mitsubishi Lancer 9 cars can manifest itself after 5 - 7 years of car operation. As a rule, the complete failure of the fuel pump is preceded by the moment when, if the engine fails to start, it is enough to knock on the gas tank for the pump to start up again and the engine starts.

In 4G13 engines, which are installed on Mitsubishi Lancer, the fuel pump must provide a rail pressure of more than 3 bar. With a loss of performance of the fuel pump, the injectors do not provide normal fuel atomization, the engine power decreases sharply. Computer diagnostics may not diagnose such a malfunction, since the electrical parameters of the pump do not change.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

The main reasons for the malfunction of the fuel pump are:

  • loss of pump performance as a result of natural wear and tear;
  • failure when the fuel pump filter is clogged and damaged;
  • overheating of the pump during long-term operation with low gasoline levels;
  • burning of contacts;
  • breakage of the winding of the electric drive.

The reason for the failure of the fuel pump may be associated with a malfunction of the electrical equipment: a blown fuse in the pump circuit, a malfunction of the fuel pump relay, electrical wiring and the connector of the fuel pump unit. In this case, the repair of the fuel pump is not required. It is necessary to eliminate the malfunction of the electrical equipment of the car.

The main symptoms of a fuel pump malfunction:

  • the car stalled while driving;
  • the engine does not start after a short stay;
  • the engine starts to work intermittently while driving, the car moves jerkily.

When the first signs of a malfunction of the fuel pump appear, it is necessary to make computer diagnostics, start troubleshooting.

The fuel pump unit is located in the fuel tank. Access to it in the Mitsubishi Lancer is provided through a hatch, which is located under the rear seat.

To gain access to it, the rear seat must be raised.

Then you should carefully remove the protective film, after which access to the shaft lining will be provided.

There is a fuel pump unit under the cover. It includes:

Next, the connector and fuel hoses are dismantled.

Image - Fuel level sensor Mitsubishi Lancer 9 DIY repair

Particular attention must be paid to unscrewing the nuts securing the fuel pump unit. It is advisable to pre-process them with WD, and then carefully unscrew them. After dismantling the pump, check the bottom of the tank for contamination. The best option when there is a minimum fuel level in the tank. Then, with the help of natural rags, you can remove the remaining gasoline and accumulated dirt.

The removed pump should be wiped dry and allowed to dry. It is advisable to carry out this operation in the open air so that gasoline vapors do not accumulate.

Further operation is filter dismantling. In any case, it is better to change it, even if it is relatively clean.

If the filter is visibly dirty as shown in the figure, it must be replaced 100%.

Trying to rinse it out is useless. Microparticles of dirt get inside, as shown in the figure of the cut filter.

The gas pump in Lancer 9 is not repairable. It must be changed aggregate. There are analogs completely corresponding in size and landing zones. One of them is shown in the figure. Their cost is from 1,100 rubles. Items - 42022-FE011, BP4W-13-35ZG.

You can purchase a genuine Mitsubishi filter. Its article is MR552781, the price is about 3500 rubles. There are analogues on sale that cost almost an order of magnitude lower, for example, Japan Parts FC-523S, Nipparts J1335052, Sakura FS-1037, Concord FL20016 and others.

The contract pump article MR566825, NVIMR552781 can be purchased at a price of 3,000 rubles.

After replacing the fuel pump and filter, it is necessary to mount the structure in the reverse order.

Since gasoline is a flammable substance, during work, it is necessary to strictly observe safety measures:

  • do not use power tools, open flames, do not smoke;
  • if possible, all work should be done outdoors or in a well-ventilated area;
  • during work, keep the doors and glass doors of the car open;
  • while replacing the pump and filter, the fuel pump shaft should be covered with a plastic bag, the doors of the car (or glass) should not be covered.

250 km (to a position between 2/3 and 1/2 of the tank) After the arrow slowly but surely goes to zero. After about ten minutes the light comes on, after another 5 minutes the arrow rests on the limiter.
Observing an unhealthy situation, I stop by the gas station and pour in a full tank = 23 liters. Therefore, this is not an overexpenditure on the driving style (and it is unlikely that it changed dramatically in an hour)
We make a knight's move - food 470 km. Everything is as described earlier. I fill twenty liters (coupons). The arrow is waited to the level (tank floor). After 10 minutes, the hand gradually drops to zero.
Appearance is observed on a cold and warm machine.

The car is on the move, and the service is really far away.

Nobody knows if the fuel level sensor is not “tied” to the fuel pump? (which was changed according to the regulations for 120 tyk)
Could the crooked hands of the Nicole-service workers install it incorrectly? Why did the problem appear 20 tyk after the presence of foreign objects in the tank (such as fingers and so on)

I am a street child. If sho.

“First of all, you need to listen to the client and collect the maximum
information about the malfunction ", -
Yes, I listened to him! So what of that? I asked him:
- Was there any light on the dashboard?
The client replied rather:
- Burned. But I extinguished it! I did it as they say on the forum: "I disconnected the battery - I connected it." Now everything is in order, nothing burns and does not irritate the eyes!
Well, what could I say? Only muttered:
- You are well done. Five points!
The client felt something and was worried:
- Did I do something wrong?
- Yes, there was no need to "extinguish anything on the dashboard", that's all. Your malfunction is "floating", and now it is not clear whether it will arise now, when checking, or not. And if the CHECK on the panel had not been extinguished, then we would now know exactly what the car is complaining about, and would immediately start looking in that direction. Now look for fistulas ...
- Well, excuse me ...
- You should read the forums more carefully, otherwise they will sometimes advise you ... but if you were given an answer to a specific question, that's one thing. Otherwise you have taken this "troubleshooting option" out of context and applied it to your car. You have to be careful ...

Indeed, the malfunction on the car was from the category of "floating": that is, then no, it disappears and the car works like a clock, no complaints. And there are two options, no, even three options:
1. Try to look for a malfunction according to the description, according to the client.
2. Wait until the malfunction manifests itself, a malfunction code appears and work already according to the code.
3. Spend time, drive the car in different operating modes, if the malfunction does not manifest itself in any way - give the client's car with strict admonitions that “this light on the dashboard cannot be extinguished. ".

It is possible to describe this simple malfunction in words, but it’s not that ... I specially made short videos so that you could watch and listen, here are the videos:
