COMBINATION METERSPFP:24814
System DescriptionEKS007DL
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT

Speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltage meter, A/T temperature
gauge, and water temperature gauge are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is built into the
combination meter.

Warning indicators are controlled by signals drawn from the CAN communication system, BCM (body con-
trol module), and components connected directly to the combination meter.

Digital meter is adopted for odometer/trip meters*, as well as the A/T position indicator display.
*The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected.

Odometer/trip meters and A/T indicator segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in diagnosis mode.
Illumination control
The unified meter control unit outputs the speedometer, odometer/trip meters, tachometer, oil pressure gauge,
voltage meter, A/T indicator, A/T temperature gauge, fuel and temperature gauge lighting when the ignition
switch is turned on. When the lighting switch is turned on, the illumination control switch can be used to adjust
the brightness of the combination meter illumination and the odometer/trip meters and meter illumination.
When the ignition switch is turned from the OFF to the ON position, the combination meter dial lighting will
remain off for 0.7 seconds. For additional combination meter illumination control information, refer to LT-152,
"System Description" .

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The following items can be checked during Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode.

Gauge sweep and present gauge values.

Illuminates all odometer, fuel, and engine temperature segments.

Illuminates all micro controlled lamps/LED's regardless of switch configuration.

Displays estimated present battery voltage.

Displays seat belt buckle switch LH status.
HOW TO INITIATE COMBINATION METER SELF- DIAGNOSIS MODE
NOTE:
Once entered, Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode will function with the ignition switch in ON or START.
Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode will exit upon turning the ignition switch to OFF or ACC.
To initiate Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode, refer to the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON, while holding the odometer/trip meter switch for 5 - 8 seconds.
NOTE:
If the diagnosis function is activated the odometer/trip meter will display tESt.
COMBINATION METER SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE FUNCTIONS

Revision: August 20072004 QX56
Trouble DiagnosesEKS007E6
PRELIMINARY CHECK FOR THERMOMETER
1. COOL DOWN CHECK
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Cool down the ambient sensor with water or ice.
Does the indicated temperature drop?
Yes >> GO TO 2.
No >> The system is malfunctioning. Refer to DI-28, "
INSPECTION/COMPASS AND THERMOMETER"
.
2. WARM UP CHECK
1. Leave the vehicle for 10 minutes.
2. With the ignition switch in the ON position, disconnect and reconnect the ambient sensor connector.
Does the indicated temperature rise?
Yes >> The system is OK.
No >> The system is malfunctioning. Refer to DI-28, "
INSPECTION/COMPASS AND THERMOMETER"
.
NOTE:

The indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only
when one of the following conditions is present.
–The temperature detected by the ambient sensor is lower than the indicated temperature on the thermom-
eter.
–The vehicle speed is greater than 20 km/h (13 MPH).
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat during low-speed driv-
ing.)
–The ignition switch has been turned to the OFF position for more than 2 hours. (The engine is cold.)

Calibration Procedure for CompassEKS007E7
The difference between magnetic North and geographical North can sometimes be great enough to cause
false compass readings. In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone, it must be cali-
brated using the following procedure.
Zone Variation Chart
1. Determine your location on the zone map.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Press and hold the mode switch for about 5 seconds. The current zone number will appear in the display.
4. Press the mode switch repeatedly until the desired number appears in the display.
Once the desired zone number is displayed, stop pressing the mode switch and the display will show a com-
pass direction after a few seconds.
NOTE:
Use zone number 5 for Hawaii.
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASS
The direction display is equipped with automatic correction function.
If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correction.

INITIAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR COMPASS
1. Pushing the Mode switch for about 10 seconds will enter the initial correction mode. The compass display
will begin to flash.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safe place. The initial correction is completed in approximately one
and a half turns.
NOTE:
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely disturbed, the initial correction may start automatically.
