CAUTION:

When removing water pump, be careful not to get engine coolant on drive belt.

Water pump can not be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant from drain plugs on radiator and both side of cylinder block. Refer to CO-36, "Chang-
ing Engine Coolant" and EM-241, "DISASSEMBLY" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
2. Remove following parts:

Engine front undercover

Air duct (inlet); Refer to EM-172, "AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .

Alternator, water pump and A/C compressor belt; Refer to EM-169, "DRIVE BELTS" .
3. Remove fan coupling with cooling fan, and then water pump pulley.
4. Remove water pump.

Engine coolant will leak from the cylinder block, so have a receptacle ready under vehicle.
CAUTION:

Handle the water pump vane so that it does not contact any other parts.

Do not disassemble water pump.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Visually check that there is no significant dirt or rusting on water
pump body and vane.

Make sure there is no looseness in vane shaft, and that it turns
smoothly when rotated by hand.

If anything is found, replace water pump.

COMBINATION METERS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
ECM provides a water temperature signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication line. Uni-
fied meter and A/C amp. provides a water temperature signal to combination meter for water temperature
gauge with communication line between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
ECM provides an engine speed signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication line. Unified
meter and A/C amp. provides an engine speed signal to combination meter for tachometer with communica-
tion line between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by a variable ground signal supplied

from unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 36

through the fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (main) terminals 5 and 2, and

through the fuel level sensor unit (sub) terminals 2 and 1

to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 28 for the fuel gauge.
Unified meter and A/C amp. provides an fuel level signal to combination meter for fuel gauge with communica-
tion line between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
SPEEDOMETER
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the unified meter and A/C amp.
with CAN communication line. After unified meter and A/C amp. received the vehicle speed signal, it changes
the signal to 8 pulse signal and provides the 8 pulse signal to the combination meter for the speedometer.
