System Description
UNIFIED CONTROL METER
+Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled totally
by control unit combined with speedometer.
+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.
Note: Sub fuel gauge is not controlled by the control unit.
HOW TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY FOR ODO/TRIP METER
Note: Turn ignition switch to the ``ON'' position to operate odo/trip meter.

Segment Check in Diagnosis Mode
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
+Odo/trip meter segment can be checked in diagnosis mode.
+Meters/gauges (except for sub fuel gauge) can be checked in
diagnosis mode.
HOW TO ALTERNATE DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch to ON and change odo/trip meter to ``TRIP
A'' or ``TRIP B''.
2. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch to ON when pushing odo/trip meter switch.
4. Con®rm that trip meter indicates ``000.0''.
5. Push odo/trip meter switch more than three times within 5 sec-
onds.
6. All odo/trip meter segments should be turned on.
NOTE: If some segments are not turned on, speedometer (uni-
®ed meter control unit) with odo/trip meter should be
replaced.
At this point, the uni®ed control meter is turned to diagnosis
mode.
7. Push odo/trip meter switch. Indication of each meter/gauge
should be as shown left during pushing odo/trip meter switch if
it is no malfunctioning.
NOTE: It takes about 1 minute for indication of fuel gauge to
become stable.
