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.

Speaker inspection
1. Disconnect speaker harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between speaker terminalsj
1andj2.
+The resistance should be2-4W.
3. Using jumper wires, momentarily connect a 9V battery between speaker terminalsj
1andj2.
+A momentary hum or pop should be heard.
Antenna inspection
Using a jumper wire, clip an auxiliary ground between antenna and body.
+If reception improves, check antenna ground (at body surface).
+If reception does not improve, check main feeder cable for short circuit or open circuit.
Radio inspection
All voltage inspections are made with:
+Ignition switch ON or ACC
+Radio ON
+Radio connected (If removed for inspection, supply a ground to the case using a jumper wire.)
