2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN AMBIENT
SENSOR AND COMBINATION METER.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from combination
meter.
3) Measure the resistance between ambient
sensor harness connector terminal and combi-
nation meter harness connector terminal.
Connector & terminal
(F78) No. 1 — (i10) No. 25:
(F78) No. 2 — (i10) No. 24:Is the resistance less than 10
Ω?Replace the com-
bination meter
printed circuit.Repair the wiring
harness.
3 CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR.
1) Remove the ambient sensor.
2) Check the ambient sensor. INSPECTION, Ambient Sensor.>Is the ambient sensor OK? Go to step 4.Replace the ambi-
ent sensor.
4 CHECK OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE INDICA-
TOR.
1) Connect the combination meter harness
connector.
2) Connect a resistor (3 kΩ) between termi-
nals of ambient sensor harness connector.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON and check
the outside temperature indicator display.Does the outside temperature
indicator indicate 25°C (77°F)?Repair the poor
contact of ambient
sensor harness
