UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT
• Speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltage gauge, A/T oil temperature
gauge, and water temperature gauge are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is built into the
combination meter.
• Warning indicators are controlled by signals drawn fr om the CAN communication system, BCM (body control
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 ev en 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 meter, A/T indicator, A/T temperature gauge, 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 combination meter illuminati on 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-120,

COMBINATION METERS
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.
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 24.
Ground is supplied
• to combination meter terminal 17
• through body grounds M57, M61 and M79.
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 whether the engine oil pressure is low or normal.
The oil pressure gauge is controlled by the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room). Low
oil pressure causes oil pressure switch terminal 1 to provide ground to IPDM E/R terminal 42. The IPDM E/R
then signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via CAN communication lines and a low oil
pressure indication is displayed by the oil pressure gauge.
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 flui d temperature signal to combination meter via CAN
communication lines.
VOLTAGE GAUGE
The voltage gauge indicates the battery/charging system voltage.
The voltage gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit.
TA C H O M E T E R
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 (contro l unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via CAN
communication lines.
ODO/TRIP METER
The vehicle speed signal and the memory signals from the meter memory circuit are processed by the combi-
nation meter and the mileage is displayed.
How to Change the Display
Refer to Owner's Manual for odo/tr ip meter operating instructions.
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Refer to LAN-4.

INFOID:0000000003533486
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/LE D'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 odom eter/trip meter switch for 5 - 8 seconds. When the
diagnosis function is activated the odometer/trip meter will display tESt.
NOTE:
Check combination meter power supply and ground ci rcuit when self-diagnosis mode of combination
meter does not start. Refer to DI-16, "
Power Supply and Ground Circuit Inspection". Replace combination
meter if normal. Refer to IP-10, "
Removal and Installation".
