TACHOMETER : System Diagram
INFOID:0000000006221698
TACHOMETER : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006221699
 ECM converts the pulse signal provided by the crankshaft position sensor to an engine speed signal and
transmits it to the combination meter via CAN communication.
 The combination meter indicates the engine speed to the tachometer according to the engine speed signal
received via CAN communication.

When recognizing an engine start, the combination meter controls the following items for producing the effect.
 Speedometer
 Tachometer
 Engine coolant temperature gauge
 Fuel gauge

Meter and Illumination Operations During Engine-start Effect
The combination meter controls the following items during the engine-start effect.
NOTE:
The pointers are stopped and illumination is turned off while cranking the engine.
Engine Start Judgement
The combination meter judges “engine-start” and activates the engine-start effect only once when the follow-
ing operational conditions are all satisfied.
NOTE:
Engine-start effect exits when any of the above operat ional conditions is cancelled during the engine-start
effect.
Signal path
The combination meter judges “engine-start,” according to the following signals and activates the engine-start
effect function.

On Board Diagnosis FunctionINFOID:0000000006221719
ON BOARD DIAGNOSIS ITEM
The combination meter allows the following diagnosis items with the on-board diagnosis function.
METHOD OF STARTING
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. While pressing the trip reset switch (1), turn ignition switch ON.
3. If the diagnosis function is activated with “trip A” displayed, the
mileage on “trip A” is reset to “0000.0”. (The same way for “trip
B”.)
4. Make sure that the trip meter displays “0000.0”.
5. Press the trip reset switch at least 3 times. (Wit hin 7 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON.)
6. The combination meter is turned to self-diagnosis mode.  Speedometer, tachometer, engine coolant temper ature gauge, fuel gauge, engine oil pressure gauge,
and voltmeter return to zero, simultaneously.
 The dot matrix dots on the information display (1) blink alter-
nately.
NOTE:
 Check combination meter power supply and ground circuit when the self-diagnosis mode of the combi- nation meter does not start. Replace combination meter if power supply and ground circuit are normal.
 If any of the dots are not displayed, replace combination meter.

DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter motor and alternator test segments must be
done as a set from start to finish.
1.DIAGNOSIS WITH STARTING /CHARGING SYSTEM TESTER
Perform the starting system test with Starting/Char ging System Tester (SST: J-44373). For details and operat-
ing instructions, refer to Technical Service Bulletin.
Te s t r e s u l t
CRANKING VOLTAGE NORMAL>>GO TO 2.
CRANKING VOLTAGE LOW>>GO TO 5.
CHARGE BATTERY>>Perform the slow battery charging procedure. (Initial rate of charge is 10A for 12
hours.) Perform battery test again. Re fer to Technical Service Bulletin.
REPLACE BATTERY>>Before replacing battery, clean t he battery cable clamps and battery posts. Perform
battery test again. Refer to Technical Service Bu lletin. If second test result is “REPLACE BAT-
TERY”, then do so. Perform battery test again to confirm repair.
2.CRANKING CHECK
Check that the starter motor operates correctly.
Does the engine crank normally?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 4.
3.ENGINE START CHECK
Check that the engine starts.
Does the engine start?
YES >> Starter motor is OK. INSPECTION END
NO >> Perform further diagnosis of engine mechanical or engine control system. Refer EM and EC sec-
tions. Once resolved, perform battery test again.
4.STARTER MOTOR ACTIVATION
Check that the starter motor operates.
Does the starter motor turn?
YES >> Check ring gear and starter motor drive pinion. Once resolved, perform battery test again.
NO >> GO TO 7.
5.COMPARISON BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT AND CRANKING VOLTAGE
Compare the engine coolant temperature and the cranking voltage with the specifications.
Minimum Specification of Cranking Voltage Referencing Coolant Temperature
Is the voltage less than the specified value?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> GO TO 6.
6.STARTER OPERATION
Check the starter operation status.
Does the starter motor turn smoothly?
YES >> Starter motor is OK. INSPECTION END
NO >> GO TO 7.
7.“B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Check “B” terminal circuit. Refer to STR-14, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is
“B” terminal circuit normal?
Engine coolant temperature [ °C ( °F)] Voltage [V]
− 30 to −20 ( −22 to −4) 8.6
− 19 to −10 ( −2 to 14) 9.1
− 9 to 0 (16 to 32) 9.5
More than 1 (More than 34) 9.9
