TCM (transmission control module) provides an A/T fluid temperature signal to combination meter via CAN
communication lines.
V O LTA G E G A U G E
The voltage gauge indicates the battery/charging system voltage.
The voltage gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
ECM provides an engine speed signal to combination meter via CAN communication lines.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit and a variable resistor signal supplied

to combination meter terminal 15

through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 2

through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 5

from combination meter terminal 16.
SPEEDOMETER
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via CAN
communication lines.
