COMBINATION METER
System Description
Speedometer, tachometer, odoltrip meter, fuel gauge, and
water temperature gauge are integrally controlled by the con-
trol circuit in the meter control unit.
Diagnosis function has odoltrip meter segment check, low fuel @
warning lamp check, and continuity check in the meter control
circuit and the meters (speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge,
and water temperature gauge).
