INFORMATION DISPLAY : System Description
INFOID:0000000006221717
DESCRIPTION
 The combination meter receives signals necessary for controlling the operation of the information display from each unit, sensor and switch.
 The combination meter incorporates a trip computer t hat displays the warning/information according to the
information received from each unit, sensor and switch.
 The combination meter shows the following functions on the information display.
- Odo/trip meter
- Shift position indicator
- Trip computer
- Interrupt indication
- Warning check indication
- Setting
ODO/TRIP METER
 The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) r eads the rectangular wave signal provided by the wheel
sensor and transmits the vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.
 The combination meter converts the vehicle speed signal received via CAN communication to mileage, and it displays the accumulated mileage on the information display.
SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR
MANUAL MODE
 The combination meter receives the following signal and transmits the signal to TCM via CAN communica-tion.
 TCM judges a shift position, manual mode, and manual mode information, based on a signal received from
the combination meter via CAN communication and transmi ts the following signals to the combination meter
via CAN communication.
 The combination meter activates the shift position indicator, and manual mode information, based on signals received from TCM via CAN communication.
NOTE:
When receiving a manual mode shift refusal signal from TCM via CAN communication, the combination meter
blinks the shift position indicator lamp and allows the integrated buzzer to ring a beep tone. For further infor-
mation, refer to TM-54, "
SHIFT PATTERN CONTROL : System Description".
NON-MANUAL MODE
 Combination meter inputs non-manual mode signal from A/T shift selector (manual mode switch), and trans-
mits the signals to TCM with CAN communication line.
 TCM transmits shift position signal to combination meter with CAN communication line.
 Combination meter indicates shift position when receiving shift position signal.
TRIP COMPUTER
Current Fuel Consumption
The combination meter calculates current fuel cons umption based on the following signals, and the calculated
value is displayed on the information display.

 The ambient sensor input value that is displayed on “Data Monitor” of CONSULT-III is the value before the
correction. It may not match the indica ted temperature on the information display.
 After removal and installation of the battery and comb ination meter, an ambient sensor-detected tempera-
ture is indicated on the information display.
 Depending on engine heat or heat on the road surfaces, an ambient temperature may be indicated higher
than actual one.
INTERRUPT INDICATION
 The combination meter displays an interrupt regarding a warning, alert, and maintenance on the information
display, based on signals received from each unit and switch.
 When conditions are satisfied, the normal screen swit ches to a warning screen to display an interrupt.
