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, "
System Description" .

WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
ECM provides an engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter via CAN communication lines.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The engine oil pressure gauge indicates the engine oil pressure.
The engine oil pressure gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit and input from the oil pressure
sensor.
A/T OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The A/T oil temperature gauge indicates the A/T fluid temperature.
TCM (transmission control module) provides an A/T fluid temperature signal to combination meter via CAN
communication lines.
V O LTA G E G A U G E
The voltage gauge indicates the battery/charging system voltage.
The voltage gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
ECM provides an engine speed signal to combination meter via CAN communication lines.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit and a variable resistor signal supplied

to combination meter terminal 15

through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 2

through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 5

from combination meter terminal 16.
SPEEDOMETER
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via CAN
communication lines.
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Refer to LAN-5, "CAN COMMUNICATION" .

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.
COMBINATION METER SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE FUNCTIONS
To interpret Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode functions, refer to the following table.
