System DescriptionNKS003TV
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.
Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.
NOTE:
The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter
is erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
Dot matrix LCD is adopted to display “push engine starter”, “A/T position” and “ICC system* ”.
Odo/trip meter and dot matrix LCD segments can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
*: With ICC system

METER ILLUMINATION CONTROL
Meter illumination* is controlled by the unified meter control unit.
Ring illumination under normal operation and engine start excitement function can be turned ON/OFF with
pressing meter illumination control switch for more than 1 second.
*: Illumination for ring, meter face, pointer, dot matrix LCD and odo/trip meter
Daytime Mode
Meter illumination is adjusted to 5 steps by meter illumination control
switch (1) in daytime mode.
Nighttime Mode
Combination meter is transferred to nighttime mode with position light request signal from BCM with CAN
communication.
Meter illumination is adjusted to 16 steps by illumination control
switch (1) in nighttime. Refer to LT- 2 9 5 , "
ILLUMINATION" .
Driver Welcome Function
Ring illumination gradually turns ON when a driver gets in the vehicle with intelligent key and closes the driver
side door.
NOTE:
Ring illumination gradually turns OFF when not turning the ignition switch ON at a certain period of time.
Engine Start Excitement Function
Combination meter detects the engine start when input engine speed signal at first. Pointers of speed meter
and tachometer sweep and ring illumination gradually turns ON when combination meter detects the engine
start. Then, combination meter starts the normal control.
NOTE:
Water temperature gauge and fuel gauge do not function.
Engine start excitement function can be turned ON/OFF with pressing meter illumination control switch for
more than 1 second.

Vehicle Speed Signal InspectionNKS003U7
Symptom: Speedometer or odo/trip meter indication is malfunction.
1. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. INPUT SIGNAL
1. Connect CONSULT-II, and start engine.
2. Compare the value in “SPEED METER” of “DATA MONITOR” in
“METER A/C AMP” to that in speedometer in the combination
meter during driving.
Is the value in speedometer almost same as that in the monitor?
YES >> Preform self-diagnosis of ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit). Refer to BRC-22, "
CONSULT-II Functions
(ABS)" .
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. OUTPUT SIGNAL
1. Start engine and drive vehicle at approximately 40 km/h (25
MPH).
2. Check voltage signal between unified meter and A/C amp. har-
ness connector and ground.
NOTE:
Maximum voltage may be 5 V due to specifications (connected units).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG-1 >> If monitor indicates “0 V” constantly, perform the following.
1. Check each unit inputting vehicle speed signal (8 pulse). Malfunction is caused by short circuit
between each unit and unified meter and A/C amp.
2. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.
NG-2 >> If monitor indicates “5 V” or “12 V” constantly, replace unified meter and A/C amp.
