UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMPPFP:27760
System DescriptionAKS005N8

For the unified meter and A/C amp., the signal required for controlling the combination meter are inte-
grated 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 con-
trol, refer to AT C - 3 0 , "
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL" in ATC section.

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 (without NAVI) display control unit (with NAVI) using
CAN communication.

Other input signals are also sent to the ECM, TCM, AWD control unit, BCM, display unit (without NAVI)
and display control unit (with NAVI) using CAN communication.

The unified meter and A/C amp. correspond a CONSULT-II function (self-diagnostic results, CAN diag-
nostic support monitor, data monitor).

Solution When Communication Error Between the Unified Meter & A/C Amp. and the Combi-
nation Meter
CAN Communication System DescriptionAKS007Z1
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitAKS007YX
Refer to LAN-30, "CAN Communication Unit" in “LAN SYSTEM”.

Main bearing caps are identified by identification mark cast on
them. For installation, face front mark to front side.
NOTE:
Main bearing cap cannot be replaced as a single part, because it
is machined together with cylinder block.
7. Install main bearing beam.

Install main bearing beam with front mark facing downward (oil pan side).

Install main bearing beam with front mark facing front of the
engine.
8. Install main bearing cap bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure as follows:
a. Inspect the outer diameter of main bearing cap bolt. Refer to EM-148, "
MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT OUTER DIAMETER" .
b. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of main bear- ing cap bolts.
c. Tighten main bearing cap bolts in several different steps.
d. Turn all main bearing cap bolts 90 degrees clockwise (Angle tightening).
CAUTION:
Use the angle wrench [SST: KV10112100 (BT8653-A)] to
check tightening angle. Do not make judgment by visual
inspection.

After installing main bearing cap bolts, make sure that crank-
shaft can be rotated smoothly by hand.

Check the crankshaft end play. Refer to EM-140, "CRANK-
SHAFT END PLAY" .
9. Install piston to connecting rod as follows:
a. Using a snap ring pliers, install new snap ring to the groove of piston rear side.

Insert it fully into groove to install.
b. Install piston to connecting rod.

Using an industrial use drier or similar tool, heat piston until piston pin can be pushed in by hand without
excess force [approx. 60 to 70 °C (140 to 158 °F)]. From the front to the rear, insert piston pin into piston

Piston Skirt Diameter
Measure the outer diameter of piston skirt with a 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 the calculated value exceeds the limit, replace piston and piston pin assembly. Refer to EM-135, "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, and tighten to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be distorted in final 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 taper. NOTE:
Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
CRANKSHAFT MAIN JOURNAL DIAMETER

Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft main journals with a micrometer.

If out of the standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing. Refer to EM-
147, "MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" .
