WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine
coolant escaping from radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a
turn to release built-up pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-172, "ENGINE ROOM COVER" .
2. Remove engine front undercover with power tool.
3. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-37, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:
Perform this step when engine is cold.
4. Remove air duct (inlet), air cleaner case and mass air flow sensor assembly. Refer to EM-176, "
AIR
CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
5. Remove radiator hoses (upper and lower). CAUTION:
Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
6. Disconnect A/T fluid cooler hoses.

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.
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.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
ECM provides an engine coolant temperature signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication
line. Unified meter and A/C amp. provides a engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter for water
temperature gauge with communication 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 a fuel level signal to combination meter for fuel gauge with communica-
tion line between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
