Overall Function CheckNBEC0358Use this procedure to check the overall function of vacuum cut
valve bypass valve. During this check, the 1st trip DTC might not
be confirmed.
WITH GSTNBEC0358S011) Remove vacuum cut valve and vacuum cut valve bypass valve
as an assembly.
2) Apply vacuum to portAand check that there is no suction from
portB.
3) Apply vacuum to portBand check that there is suction from
portA.
4) Blow air in portBand check that there is a resistance to flow
out of portA.
5) Supply battery voltage to the terminal.
6) Blow air in portAand check that air flows freely out of portB.
7) Blow air in portBand check that air flows freely out of portA.
8) If NG, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-595.

BATTERY SAVER CONTROLNBEL0035S02When the ignition switch is turned from ON (or START) to OFF (or ACC) positions while illumination lamps
are illuminated, the RAP signal is supplied to terminal 10 of the headlamp battery saver control unit from smart
entrance control unit terminal 5.
After counting 45 seconds by the RAP signal from the smart entrance control unit to headlamp battery saver
control unit, the ground supply to terminal 1 of the tail lamp relay from headlamp battery saver control unit
teminals 6 and 14 is terminated.
Then illumination lamps are turned off.
Illumination lamps are turned off when driver or passenger side door is opened even if 45 seconds have not
passed after the ignition switch is turned from ON (or START) to OFF (or ACC) positions while illumination
lamps are illuminated.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST (or 2ND) after illumination lamps are turned off by the
battery saver control, ground is supplied
Ito headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 5 and 13 from lighting switch terminal 11, and
Ito tail lamp relay terminal 1 from headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 6 and 14.
Then illumination lamps illuminate again.
NOTE:
For Trouble Diagnoses for battery saver control, refer to ªPARKING, LICENSE AND TAIL LAMPSº

by control unit.
IDigital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.*
*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.
IOdo/trip meter is indicated for about 30 seconds after ignition switch has been turned OFF.
IOdo/trip meter segment can be checked in diagnosis mode.
IMeter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.

POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUITNBEL0042S08Power is supplied at all times
Ithrough 7.5A fuse [No. 24, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
Ito combination meter terminal 62.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
Ithrough 10A fuse [No. 8, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
Ito combination meter terminal 66.
Ground is supplied
Ito combination meter terminal 59
Ithrough body grounds M4, M66 and M147.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGENBEL0042S01The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature. The reading on the gauge is based
on the resistance of the thermal transmitter.
As the temperature of the coolant increases, the resistance of the thermal transmitter decreases. A variable
ground is supplied to terminal 18 of the combination meter for the water temperature gauge. The needle on
the gauge moves from ªCº to ªHº.
TACHOMETERNBEL0042S02The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
The tachometer is regulated by a signal
Ifrom terminal 25 of the ECM
Ito combination meter terminal 16 for the tachometer.
FUEL GAUGENBEL0042S03The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by a variable ground signal supplied
Ito combination meter terminal 17 for the fuel gauge
Ifrom terminal 3 of the fuel level sensor unit
Ithrough terminal 2 of the fuel level sensor unit and
Ithrough body grounds B11, B22 and D210.
SPEEDOMETERNBEL0042S04The vehicle speed sensor provides a voltage signal to the combination meter for the speedometer.
The voltage is supplied
Ifrom combination meter terminal 15 for the speedometer
Ito terminal 2 of the vehicle speed sensor.
The speedometer converts the voltage into the vehicle speed displayed.

This unit displays following items:
IEarth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.
IOutside air temperature.
ICaution for frozen road surfaces.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAYNBEL0153S01Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ªACCº or ªONº position. The outside temperature will be dis-
played in ªÉFº.
ISelecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from ªÉFº to ªÉCº.
IWhen the outside temperature drops below freezing point, ICE is displayed on the unit.
IWhen the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF).
IWhen the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows
only ª---º though it is operating. This is not a problem.
IThe indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when vehicle
speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan operation
during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ªOFFº position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
DIRECTION DISPLAYNBEL0153S02Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ªACCº or ªONº position. The direction will be displayed.

Trouble DiagnosesNBEL0048PRELIMINARY CHECK FOR THERMOMETERNBEL0048S02
1 COOL DOWN CHECK
1. Turn the ignition key switch to the ªACCº position.
2. Cool down the ambient air temperature sensor with water or ice, so that the indicated temperature falls.
Does the indicated temperature fall?
Ye s©GO TO 2.
No©The system is malfunctioning. Check the system following ªINSPECTION/COMPASS
AND THERMOMETERº.
2 WARM UP CHECK
1. Leave the vehicle for 10 minutes, so that the indicated temperature rises.
2. With the ignition key in the ªACCº position, disconnect and reconnect the ambient air temperature sensor connector.
Does the indicated temperature rise?
Ye s©The system is OK.
No©The system is malfunctioning. Check the system following ªINSPECTION/COMPASS
AND THERMOMETERº.
NOTE:
IWhen the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF). When the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the dis-
play shows only ª---º.
IThe indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.

Calibration Procedure for Compass=NBEL0155The difference between magnetic North and geographical North
can sometimes be great enough to cause false compass readings.
In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone,
it must be calibrated using the following procedure.
SEL738UA
SEL065V
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASSNBEL0155S01The direction display is equipped with automatic correction func-
tion. If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correc-
tion.
INITIAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR COMPASSNBEL0155S021. Pushing the ªModeº switch for about 10 seconds will enter the
initial correction mode. The direction bar starts blinking.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safe place. The initial cor-
rection is completed in one or two turns.
NOTE:
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely disturbed,
the initial correction may start automatically.
