H)Error 1
(Bit 0 - Bit 3)
SEL441X
The segment of each bit displays ª0º, meaning no failure.
If the bit(s) displays figures other than ª0º, the item of the
bit has failed.
For details, refer to ªFailure chart for Error 1 and Error Eº
below.

When no signal is detected for 30 minutes continuously
with the ignition ON, it should be judged as signal failure.
(If input signal is detected later, then the judgement will be
canceled immediately.)1

Abnormal input signal
When any signal of frequency which would not exist in nor-
mal conditions is detected, it should be judged as signal
failure.2

signalNo input signal
When no signal is detected for 30 minutes continuously
with the ignition ON, it should be judged as signal failure.

Combination Meter Calibration
After replacing a combination meter, it might be necessary to cali-
brate the fuel gauge/low fuel warning lamp. In case the fuel warn-
ing lamp is flashing after replacing the combination meter perform
the following:
1. Press both reset buttons.
2. Turn the ignition ONand keep the reset buttons depressed
for at least 5 seconds.
3. Release both reset buttons.
The low fuel warning lamp will stop flashing and the combina-
tion meter will show CALL and possibly CALL FAIL. Showing
CALL FAIL does not indicate a concern as this might be related
to the current (unexpected) amount of fuel in the tank.
