System DescriptionNJEL0442UNIFIED CONTROL METERNJEL0442S01+Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled totally
by control unit built-in combination meter.
+Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.*
*The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter
is erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
+Odo/trip meter segment can be checked in diagnosis mode.
+Meter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.

WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGENJEL0442S04The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature. The reading on the gauge is based
on the resistance of the thermal transmitter.
As the temperature of the coolant increases, the resistance of the thermal transmitter decreases. A variable
ground is supplied to terminal 20 of the combination meter for the water temperature gauge. The needle on
the gauge moves from ªCº to ªHº.
TACHOMETERNJEL0442S05The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
The tachometer is regulated by a signal
+from terminal 32 (Gasoline engine models) or 439 (Diesel engine models) of the ECM
+to combination meter terminal 22 for the tachometer.
FUEL GAUGENJEL0442S06The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by a variable ground signal supplied
+from body grounds M28 and M67
+through terminals 9 and 10 of combination meter,
+through terminal 1 of the fuel level sensor unit and
+through terminal 4 of the fuel level sensor unit
+to combination meter terminal 24 for the fuel gauge.
SPEEDOMETERNJEL0442S07The combination meter provides a voltage signal to the vehicle speed sensor for the speedometer.
The voltage is supplied
+from combination meter terminal 5 for the speedometer
+to terminal 1 of the vehicle speed sensor.
Ground is supplied
+from body grounds M28 and M67
+through terminals 10 and 11 of combination meter
+to teminal 2 of the vehicle speed sensor.
The speedometer converts the voltage into the vehicle speed displayed.

Combination Meter Self-DiagnosisNJEL0447PERFORMING SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODENJEL0447S011. Turn the ignition switch to the ªLOCKº position.
2. Press both reset buttons on the combination meter and keep
them depressed.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ªONº position, while keeping the
reset buttons pressed.
4. Release both reset buttons then self-diagnosis will start. The
sequence (A to L) is activated by press the either reset buttons.
NOTE:
If either reset button is not pressed for 20 seconds at each step or
if the ignition switch is turned OFF, the self-diagnosis mode is
exited.

Combination Meter Calibration
After replacing a combination meter, it might be necessary to cali-
brate the fuel gauge/low fuel warning lamp. In case the fuel warn-
ing lamp is flashing after replacing the combination meter perform
the following:
1. Press both reset buttons.
2. Turn the ignition ONand keep the reset buttons depressed
for at least 5 seconds.
3. Release both reset buttons.
The low fuel warning lamp will stop flashing and the combina-
tion meter will show CALL and possibly CALL FAIL. Showing
CALL FAIL does not indicate a concern as this might be related
to the current (unexpected) amount of fuel in the tank.
