and inputs it into the engine-ECU or
engine-CVT-ECU . Based on the voltage that
is output by this sensor, the engine-ECU or
engine-CVT-ECU effects throttle valve
feedback control.
Accelerator pedal position sensor This sensor detects the position of the accelerator
and inputs it into the engine-ECU or
engine-CVT-ECU . Based on the voltage that
is output by this sensor, which determines the
accelerator position (and the intention of the driver),
the engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU
effects appropriate fuel injection and throttle valve
position controls.
Camshaft position sensorThis sensor detects the top-dead-center (TDC) of the
compression stroke of each cylinder.
Crank angle sensorThis sensor detects the crank angle and inputs it into
the engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU .
The engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU
effects injector control and other controls in
accordance with the signals received from this

Detonation sensorThis sensor, which contains a piezoelectric element,
detects the vibration of the cylinder block that results
from knocking. The engine-ECU or
engine-CVT-ECU detects only the knocking
of the engine from these vibrations, in order to retard
the ignition timing in accordance with the strength of
the knocks.
Alternator FR terminalThis terminal is used for detecting the duty cycle ratio
that energizes the alternator field coil.
Inhibitor switch This is a contact point type switch that inputs a signal
into the engine-CVT-ECU to determine whether the
shift lever is in the neutral position.
Stop lamp switchThis is a contact point type switch that detects how
the brake pedal is depressed.
Actuators
Engine control relayThis relay turns ON and OFF the engine-ECU
or engine-CVT-ECU power circuit.
Throttle valve control servo relayThis relay turns ON and OFF the actuation power
circuit for the throttle valve control servo in the
engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU .
InjectorThe injectors inject fuel in accordance with the
injection signals received from the engine-ECU
or engine-CVT-ECU .
Ignition coil (with power transistor)Applies ignition coil primary current intermittently in
accordance with the ignition signals received from
the engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU ,
in order to generate high voltage for ignition.

COMBINATION METER
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-10
COMBINATION METER
M2540005000894
The combination meter features large, clearly visible
analogue indicators. The meter has the speedometer
in the middle, the coolant temperature gauge at
upper right, the fuel gauge at lower right, and the
tachometer at left so that drivers can easily distin
-
guish the information from the meters. The combina-
tion meter offers the following advantages.
•The combination meter is used for air conditioner
and meter drive control to integrate ECU.
•CAN communication is used for more reliable
transmission of all gauge data and indicator lamp
input signals, such as vehicle speed, engine
RPM, and coolant temperature. For further
details on CAN, refer to GROUP 54C, CAN
P.54C-2. The signals that the combination meter
uses are described in the CAN communications
input signals table
.
•Several diagnosis functions such as the diagno-
sis code memory and actuator tests are prepared
in order to improve serviceability.
•For a brighter display at night and for a longer
useful life, all indicator lamps, warning lamps, and
illumination bulbs use LEDs.
•The indicators for the speedometer, fuel gauge,
and other gauges are driven by a stepping motor.
For further details, consult the stepping motor
section
.
•The electronic speedometer operates by receiv-
ing vehicle speed signals sent by the
engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU
via the CAN.
•A large and clear LCD type odo-tripmeter is pro-
vided. The odometer continuously displays val-
ues while the tripmeter adopts a twin-trip (trip A,
trip B) function which is switched by a reset but
-
ton. In addition, clock function is incorporated.
•A fog lamp indicator lamp is provided to let the
driver know that the fog lamp is on.
•A seat belt warning lamp is installed to encourage
the driver to fasten the seat belt.
•The high-contrast meter is adopted. When the
ignition is turned ON, such as the needles and
face display are illuminated with fade-in lighting
by the LED light source.
•To further accentuate the high-contrast lighting,
the light of the high-contrast meter fades in and
fades out when the light is turned on and off
respectively.
•With the auto illumination function incorporated in
the high-contrast meter, a two-stage switching of
daytime (non-dimming) and nighttime (dimming)
is achieved. Also, the brightness can be adjusted
using the illumination control knob.
•A tail lamp indicator lamp is installed which
informs the lighting status of the tail lamps to the
driver.
