SYMPTOM CHART
Symptom chart 1 (Malfunction is indicated in Diagnosis mode)
Symptom Possible causes Repair order
Speedometer and/or odo/trip
meter indicate(s) malfunction
in Diagnosis mode.+Speedometer (Uni®ed meter control unit)+Replace speedometer (uni®ed meter control unit).
Multiple meter/gauge indicate
malfunction in Diagnosis
mode.
One of tachometer/fuel gauge/
water temp. gauge indicates
malfunction in Diagnosis
mode.+Meter/Gauge
+Speedometer (Uni®ed meter control unit)1. Check resistance of meter/gauge indicating malfunction. If
the resistance is NG, replace the meter/gauge. Refer to
``METER/GAUGE RESISTANCE CHECK'', EL-114.
2. If the resistance is OK, replace speedometer (uni®ed meter
control unit).
