UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMPPFP:27760
System DescriptionBKS001SK
For the unified meter and A/C amp., the signal required for con-
trolling the combination meter are integrated in the A/C auto
amp.
Unified meter and A/C amp. controls each operation for A/C
auto amp. For information regarding A/C control, refer to AT C -
24, "AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL" .
Unified meter and A/C amp. inputs necessary information for
combination meter from each unit by CAN communication and
so on.
And unified meter and A/C amp. outputs these signals using
communication line (TX, RX) between unified meter and A/C
amp. and combination meter.
The signals required for the distance to empty (DTE) display are centralized in the unified meter and A/C
amp., converted into data, and sent to the display unit (with display unit) using CAN communication.
Other input signals are also sent to the ECM, TCM, BCM and display unit (with display unit) using CAN
communication.
The unified meter and A/C amp. correspond a CONSULT-II function (self-diagnostic results, CAN diag-
nostic support monitor and data monitor).

DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Show VQ35DE (with main bearing beam, connecting rod bearing cap is tighten by bolts) as an example unless
the figure includes specification.
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle, and separate front suspension member and transaxle from
engine. Refer to EM-223, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove exhaust manifolds (right and left banks). Refer to EM-140, "
EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THREE
WAY CATALYST" .
3. Install engine sub-attachment with engine stand shaft (SST) to
right side of cylinder block.
Use spacer to engine front side.

Piston Skirt Diameter
Measure outer diameter of piston skirt with micrometer.
Piston to Cylinder Bore Clearance
Calculate by piston skirt diameter and cylinder bore inner diameter (direction “Y”, position “B”).
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore inner diameter) – (Piston skirt diameter)
If calculated value exceeds the limit, replace piston and piston pin assembly. Refer to EM-240, "HOW TO
SELECT PISTON" .
Re-boring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston to cylinder bore clearance to piston skirt diameter.
2. Install main bearing caps and main bearing beam (VQ35DE), and tighten to the specified torque. Other-
wise, cylinder bores may be distorted in final assembly. Refer to EM-233, "
ASSEMBLY" .
3. Cut cylinder bores.
NOTE:
When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.
Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at a time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at a
time.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston to cylinder bore clearance.
5. Measure finished cylinder bore for the out-of-round and the taper.
NOTE:
Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
CRANKSHAFT MAIN JOURNAL DIAMETER
Measure outer diameter of crankshaft main journals with micrometer.
If out of the standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing. Refer to EM-
252, "MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" . Measure point
