Warning Chime Active Conditions
The warning chime uses two types of audio warnings, a friendly chime and a warning chime. The friendly
chime consists of dings lasting 0.66 seconds each immediately followed by the next ding. The warning chime
consists of beeps lasting 0.33 seconds with a pause of 0.33 seconds between each beep.

Trouble Diagnosis ProcedureEIS008R9
1. Check the trouble symptom and customer's requests.
2. Understand outline of system. Refer to BL-45, "
System Description" .
3. Confirm system operation.
4. Perform self-diagnosis procedures. Refer to BL-113, "
Self-Diagnosis Procedures" .
5. Refer to diagnosis chart by symptom, repair or replace any malfunctioning parts. Refer to BL-114, "
Diag-
nosis Chart" .
6. Inspection End.
Self-Diagnosis ProceduresEIS008RA
INPUT SIGNAL CHECK MODE
Input signal check mode allows testing of switch input signal to the back door control unit.
To activate input signal check mode on the automatic back door, perform the following steps:
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn back door close switch to CANCEL (system cancelled).
3. Place A/T selector lever in P position.
4. Using the inside emergency release lever, open the back door.
5. Have an assistant press and hold the back door handle switch.
6. While the assistant continues to hold the back door handle switch, turn ignition switch ON (DO NOT start
engine).
7. After approximately 5 seconds, the back door warning chime will sound for 0.5 seconds.
8. Release the back door handle switch.
9. Within 8 seconds of the back door warning chime sounding, press and hold the power liftgate switch.
10. After approximately 5 seconds, the back door warning chime will sound for 1 second.
11. Release the power liftgate switch.
12. The input signal check mode is now initialized.
The input signal check mode can test the following inputs. The back door warning chime will sound for approx-
imately 0.5 seconds each time a switch signal input occurs. Use this test when one of these inputs is not
responding during normal automatic back door operation.
*Back door warning chime should sound as soon as vehicle moves.
Turn ignition switch OFF to end input signal check mode.
OPERATING CHECK MODE
Operating check mode allows self-diagnosis of the automatic back door system.
To activate operating check mode on the automatic back door, perform the following steps:
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn back door close switch to CANCEL (system cancelled).
3. Place A/T selector lever in P position.

System DescriptionEKS00BBU
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT

Speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltage gauge and water tempera-
ture gauge are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is built into the combination meter.

Warning indicators are controlled by signals drawn from the CAN communication system, BCM (body con-
trol module), and components connected directly to the combination meter.

Digital meter is adopted for odometer/trip meters*, as well as the A/T position indicator display.
*The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected.

Odometer/trip meters and A/T indicator segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in diagnosis mode.
Illumination control
The unified meter control unit outputs the speedometer, odometer/trip meters, tachometer, oil pressure gauge,
voltage gauge, A/T indicator, fuel and temperature gauge lighting when the ignition switch is turned on. When
the lighting switch is turned on, the illumination control switch can be used to adjust the brightness of the com-
bination meter illumination and the odometer/trip meters and meter illumination. When the ignition switch is
turned from the OFF to the ON position, the combination meter dial lighting will remain off for 0.7 seconds. For
additional combination meter illumination control information, refer to LT-152, "

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The following items can be checked during Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode.

Gauge sweep and present gauge values.

Illuminates all odometer, fuel, and engine temperature segments.

Illuminates all micro controlled lamps/LED's regardless of switch configuration.

Displays estimated present battery voltage.

Displays seat belt buckle switch LH status.
HOW TO INITIATE COMBINATION METER SELF- DIAGNOSIS MODE
NOTE:
Once entered, Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode will function with the ignition switch in ON or START.
Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode will exit upon turning the ignition switch to OFF or ACC.
To initiate Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode, refer to the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON, while holding the odometer/trip meter switch for 5 - 8 seconds.
NOTE:
If the diagnosis function is activated the odometer/trip meter will display tESt.

PRELIMINARY CHECK FOR THERMOMETER
1. COOL DOWN CHECK
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Cool down the ambient sensor 2 with water or ice.
Does the indicated temperature drop?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> The system is malfunctioning. Refer to DI-28, "
INSPECTION/COMPASS AND THERMOMETER"
.
2. WARM UP CHECK
1. Leave the vehicle for 10 minutes.
2. With the ignition switch in the ON position, disconnect and reconnect the ambient sensor 2 connector.
Does the indicated temperature rise?
YES >> The system is OK.
NO >> The system is malfunctioning. Refer to DI-28, "
INSPECTION/COMPASS AND THERMOMETER"
.
NOTE:
The indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.

The temperature detected by the ambient sensor is lower than the indicated temperature on the thermom-
eter.

The vehicle speed is greater than 20 km/h (13 MPH).
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat during low-speed driv-
ing.)

The ignition switch has been turned to the OFF position for more than 2 hours. (The engine is cold.)
