How to Proceed With Trouble DiagnosisEKS007DS
1. Confirm the symptom or customer complaint.
2. Perform diagnosis according to diagnosis flow. Refer to DI-17, "
Diagnosis Flow" .
3. According to the symptom chart, repair or replace the cause of the symptom.
4. Does the meter operate normally? If so, go to 5. If not, go to 2.
5. Inspection End.
Diagnosis FlowEKS007DT
1. CHECK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATION
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Make sure warning indicators (such as malfunction indicator lamp and oil pressure low/coolant tempera-
ture high warning indicator) illuminate.
Do warning indicators illuminate?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Check ignition power supply system of combination meter. Refer to DI-18, "
Power Supply and
Ground Circuit Inspection" .
2. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSIS OPERATION OF COMBINATION METER
Perform combination meter self-diagnosis. Refer to DI-13, "
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION" .
Does self-diagnosis function operate?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Check the following.

Combination meter power supply and ground circuit. Refer to DI-18, "Power Supply and
Ground Circuit Inspection" .
3. CHECK ODOMETER OPERATION
Check segment display status of odometer.
Is the display normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Replace the combination meter. Refer to IP-13, "
Combi-
nation Meter" .
4. CHECK COMBINATION METER CIRCUIT
Check indication of each meter/gauge in self-diagnosis mode.
OK or NG
OK >> Go to DI-19, "Symptom Chart" .
NG >> Replace the combination meter. Refer to IP-13, "
Combi-
nation Meter" .
