Communication summary
本予備情報通知は、燃料計が不正確な車両についての情報を技術者に提供するものです。技術者は、その懸念を再現するために車両を走行させるべきです。燃料計は、実際に存在する燃料レベルより低い燃料レベルを誤って示す傾向があります。燃料計が正しい燃料レベルを表示するまでに数分かかります。オートマチックトランスミッション装備車では、トランスミッションがパーキングまたはニュートラルの場合、バッファリングは発生しません。これは正常な特性であり、修理は不要です。マニュアルトランスミッション装備車では、燃料計はすべてのギアおよびニュートラルでバッファリングされます。クラッチが踏まれると、カウントアップを開始するタイマーがあります。このタイマーがキャリブレーション値に達すると、バッファリングが停止します。これは正常な特性であり、修理は不要です。 Machine translation (unreviewed)
This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have an inaccurate fuel gauge. Technician should drive the vehicle to duplicate the concern. The fuel gauge will have a tendency to falsely indicate a lower fuel level than what is actually present. The fuel gauge will take a few minutes to show the correct fuel level. On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission no buffering takes place when the transmission is in park or neutral. This is a normal characteristic and no repairs are necessary. On vehicles equipped with a manual transmission the fuel gauge is buffered in all gears and neutral. There is a timer which starts to count up when the clutch is depressed. When this timer reaches its calibrated value the buffering stops. This is a normal characteristic and no repairs are necessary.
