I'm playing a similar game with my front tyres, i'm seeing how low I can get the tread on them before I end up in a field:tongue_smilie:

18-09-2016, 11:22 AM #17My low fuel indicator light no longer works because of the "Special" way Lexus wire the dash together so I have to guess when the light should be on and then guess how far to go from there............... Its fun!!

"Special" dash wiring or "Special" engine conversion ? :wink: :blink:

A very well known problem with the Lexus IS200, the ECU "counts" how many times injector 1 fires and under what load, then adjusts the fuel level accordingly whilst you are driving supposedly eliminating false fuel readings, every 1/4 tank or so it uses the fuel level sensor to double check the level and adjusts it if necessary. When it detects a problem it goes into "error" mode and the fuel light either stays on all the time or continually flashes to tell the driver there is an "issue" with the fuel gauge, or fuel system.
Of course I don't use the OEM ECU so it isn't getting a reading from injector 1 and thinks there is a permanent problem with the fuel gauge - therefore the light stays on all the time, well it would if it was still connected:lol:.
My car now has a fuel gauge that is perfectly accurate just doesn't have a "low fuel" light. Nothing to do with the "issues" with my conversion, in fact it is a result that TGT managed to find a way round this electrical issue because as we know many people with swaps haven't been so lucky and have dashboards that don't work properly. Look at that TTE built charged IS200 in New Zealand posted up the other day the fuel gauge doesn't work on that one.
