1999 NISSAN PICK-UP Repair Manual

Before starting trouble diagnoses below, perform PRELIMINARY CHECK, EL-2065.
SYMPTOM CHART 1 (MALFUNCTION IS INDICATED IN DIAGNOSIS MODE)
Symptom Possible causes Repair order
Odo/trip meter indicate(s) mal-
function in Diagnosis mode.
lUnified meter control unitlReplace unified meter control unit.
Multiple meter/gauge indicate
malfunction in Diagnosis
mode.
One of speedometer/
tachometer/fuel gauge/water
temp. gauge indicates mal-
function in Diagnosis mode.
lMeter/GaugelUnified meter control unit1. Check resistance of meter/gauge indicating malfunction. If
the resistance is NG, replace the meter/gauge. Refer to
``METER/GAUGE RESISTANCE CHECK'', EL-2070.
2. If the resistance is OK, replace unified meter control unit.
SYMPTOM CHART 2 (NO MALFUNCTION IS INDICATED IN DIAGNOSIS MODE)
Symptom Possible causes Repair order
One/or more of speedometer/
tachometer/fuel gauge/water
temp. gauge is malfunctioning.1. Sensor
- Vehicle speed signal
- Fuel gauge
- Water temp. gauge
2. Unified meter control unit1. Check the sensor for malfunctioning meter/gauge.
INSPECTION/VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (Refer to
EL-2068.)
INSPECTION/FUEL LEVEL SENSOR (Refer to EL-2064.)
INSPECTION/THERMAL TRANSMITTER (Refer to
EL-2069.)
2. Replace unified meter control unit.
