FunctionsNFS000N4
VDC

In addition to the TCS/ABS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected
from steering angle sensor and pressure sensor, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of under steer-
ing / over steering) is determined from information from G sensor, wheel sensor, etc., and this information
is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine power to all four wheels.

SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.

During VDC operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical noises may be heard. This is
normal.

ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp might turn on when vehicle is sub-
ject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when vehicle is on a turn table, a ship or a steep slope
such as bank while engine is running. In this case, restart engine on a normal road, and if ABS warning
lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no malfunction.
TCS

The wheel spin of the drive wheels is detected by ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from the
wheel speed signals from four wheels, so if wheel spin occurs, drive wheel right and left brake fluid pres-
sure control and engine fuel cut are performed while throttle value is restricted to reduce the engine
torque and decrease the amount of wheel spin. In addition, the degree throttle is opened is controlled to
achieve the optimum engine torque.

Depending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because the opti-
mum traction has the highest priority under TCS operation.

TCS may be activated any time vehicle suddenly accelerates, suddenly down/upshifts, or is driven on a
road with a varying surface friction coefficient.

During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
Note 1: After completing repairs of shorted sensor circuit, when turning ignition switch ON, ABS warning lamp turned on. Make t hat ABS
warning lamp turned off while driving vehicle at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute according to self-
diagnosis procedure. In addition, if wheel sensor 2 is displayed for wheels, check wheel sensor circuit and also check ABS actu ator and
electric unit (control unit) power voltage.
Note 2: If multiple malfunctions are detected including CAN communication line [U1000], perform diagnosis for CAN communication line
first.
Note 3: “ACTUATOR RLY” on the CONSULT-II self-diagnostic results indicates the malfunction of actuator relay or circuit. Actuat or relay
is imbedded in ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
Note 4:Only AWD models. DECEL G SEN SET

System DescriptionNKS002ZC
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT

Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled by the
unified meter control unit, which is built into the combination meter. Unified meter control unit receives sig-
nals from unified meter and A/C amp.

Warning lamp and indicator lamp of combination meter are controlled by signals drawn from the unified
meter and A/C amp.

Odo/trip meter, shift position indicator and ICC system display segments can be checked in self-diagnosis
mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
Refer to DI-28, "COMBINATION METER CONTROL FUNCTION" in “UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP”.
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times

through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 8, and

to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 21.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 7,

through 10A fuse [No. 12, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 22.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 4,

through 15A fuse [No. 10, located in the fuse block (J/B)], and

through 15A fuse [No. 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 46.
Ground is supplied

to combination meter terminals 5, 6 and 15

through grounds M35, M45 and M85,

to unified meter and A/C amp. terminals 29 and 30

through grounds M35, M45 and M85.

FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.

Unified meter and A/C amp. reads a resistor signal from fuel level sensor.
Signal is supplied
–from unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 36
–through the fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (main) terminals 5 and 2, and
–through the fuel level sensor unit (sub) terminals 2 and 1
–to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 28 for the fuel gauge.

Unified meter and A/C amp. provides a fuel level signal to combination meter with communication line.

Combination meter indicates the approximate fuel level according to the fuel level signal.
ODO/TRIP METER

ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the unified meter and A/C
amp. with CAN communication.

Unified meter and A/C amp. converts the vehicle speed signal to the 8-pulse signal, and outputs the vehi-
cle speed signal (8-pulse) to combination meter.

Combination meter uses the vehicle speed signal (8-pulse) to calculate the mileage, and displays it.
How to Change The Display For Odo/trip Meter
Switch modes with following procedure.

When trip transfer switch is pressed, trip meter display changes.

If trip reset switch is pressed for 1 second or more while “trip A”
is displayed, only “trip A” is reset.
NOTE:
The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is dis-
connected. The record of the trip meter is erased when the battery
cable is disconnected.

COMBINATION METER ILLUMINATION CONTROL
Daytime Mode
When ignition switch is turned ON, combination meter illumination is turned ON by unified meter control unit.
Nighttime Mode

Unified meter control unit is transferred to nighttime mode, with ignition switch turned ON and position
light request signal from BCM with CAN communication.

When nighttime mode, illumination control switch illumination
turns ON by unified meter control unit. Each illumination is con-
trolled by unified meter control unit.

Each illumination can be adjusted to 16 step by illumination con-
trol switch in nighttime mode.
NOTE:
For further details of illumination circuit, refer to LT- 1 8 9 , "

4. After ignition switch is turned ON, release trip transfer switch and trip reset switch (within 7 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned ON).
5. All the segments on the odo/trip meter, shift position indicator and ICC system display illuminates, and simultaneously the low-fuel warning lamp indicator illuminates. At this time, the unified meter control unit
is turned to self-diagnosis mode.
NOTE:

Check odo/trip meter switch and combination meter power supply and ground circuit when self-diagno-
sis mode of combination meter does not start. Replace combination meter if the results of the check are
normal.

If any of the segments are not displayed, replace combination meter.
