INFOID:0000000005146066
INFORMATION DISPLAY : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146067
FUNCTION
The information display can indicate the following items.
• Intelligent Key operation information
• Warning/Indication messages (Door/liftgate/liftgate glass open, low fuel, low washer fluid, parking brake, A/T
oil temp)
DOOR OPEN WARNING
This warning appears when the ignition switch is ON and the front door LH, front door RH, rear door LH, rear
door RH, back door or glass hatch is opened. The BCM receives a door switch signal from the front door
switch LH, front door switch RH, rear door switch LH, rear door switch RH, back door latch and glass hatch
ajar switch. The BCM sends the door switch signal to the combination meter via CAN communication lines.
Then, when the ignition switch is turned ON, the warning message is displayed.
LOW FUEL WARNING
This warning appears when the fuel level in the fuel tank is less than approximately 11.4 (3 US gal, 2.5 Imp
gal). A variable resistor signal is supplied to the combination meter from the fuel level sensor unit to determine
the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
LOW WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WARNING
This warning appears when the windshield washer fluid level is low. When the windshield washer fluid level is
low, the washer level switch provides a ground signal to the combination meter (unified meter control unit).
Once fluid is added, the message will stay on for 30 seconds and then turn off.
PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR
When the parking brake is applied, the parking brake switch provides a ground signal to the combination
meter (unified meter control unit). Then, when the igni tion switch is turned ON and vehicle speed is greater
than 7 km/h (4 MPH), the message is displayed.
Refer to Owner’s Manual for additional information display items.

Diagnosis DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146071
SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
The following items can be checked during Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode.
• Gauge sweep and present gauge values.
• Illuminates all odometer/trip meters and A/T indicator segments.
• Illuminates all micro controlled lamps/LEDs regardless of switch position.
• Displays estimated present battery voltage.
• Displays seat belt buckle switch LH status.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
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.
• If the diagnosis function is activated with trip A displa yed, the mileage on trip A is reset to 0000.0. (Trip B
operates the same way.)
To initiate combination meter self-diagnosis mode, refer to the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON, while pressing the odometer/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 circuit when self-diagnosis mode of combination meter
does not start. Refer to MWI-28, "
COMBINATION METER : Diagnosis Procedure". Replace combination
meter if normal. Refer to MWI-100, "
Removal and Installation".
COMBINATION METER SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE FUNCTIONS
To interpret combination meter self-diagnosis mode functions, refer to the following table.
