Mpg Gauge Problem....

[GME]

Hi Guys,

I cannot find an answer to this - been looking everywhere for a few days but nothing!

Since I have added the carbon cluster decal, my speedometer needle wasn't responding after removing it and putting it back on. So I've figured that out that the needle was touching the carbon decal and this is back to normal now.

However for some odd reason which I cannot figure out, the MPG Gauge is now showing 0 MPG regardless of whether I put my foot down or drive efficently. It sometimes passes the 80 when its on idle.

How can I fix this???

I appreciate any ideas, help, know-hows etc.!!

Thanks in advance everyone!!!

hi it could be sticking/rubbing against the carbon fibre decal or it might not be sitting the the pin properly or possibly a loose or missed connection,worth disconnecting and double checking and reconnecting and hopefully will be okay

I had the same fault after doing mine, make sure the 2 plugs on rear of clocks are pushed fully in till they click.

Hi Guys,

Ive took it off and put it back in and did make sure that the connectors are fully pushed in with the clicks.

MPG Gauge still does not work.

What else can it be???

Can it be the sensor? If so, where is it located?

did you pull the MPG pin out?

any chances any picture?

Hey Pete, no I didn't pull the mpg needle. Like I mentioned, it will only go to 80 once it is on idle. Got a funny feeling that the sensor is messed up. Just don't know what to look for lol. Picture won't say anything as it all remained the same unless you drive and the mpg gauge does what I have mentioned - not respond as it supposed to do. And I believe only a Lexus garage can diagnose and fix this issue, correct me if I am wrong. If I get a better understanding of how a mpg gauge operates, I would rather fix it myself.

Thanks for any help guys!
