HOW TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY FOR ODO/TRIP METER
The vehicle speed signal and the memory signals from the meter memory circuit are processed by the
combination meter and the mileage is displayed.
Switch modes with following procedure.
When trip transfer switch is pressed, trip meter display changes.
If trip reset switch is pressed for 1 second or more while trip A is
displayed, only trip A is reset. (Trip B operates the same way.)
If the battery is disconnected, odometer mileage will be retained
but the trip meter is reset to 0.0.
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times
through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to combination meter terminal 8, and
to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 21.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to combination meter terminal 7,
through 10A fuse [No. 12, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 22.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
through 15A fuse [No. 10, located in the fuse block (J/B)], and
through 15A fuse [No. 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 46.
Ground is supplied
to combination meter terminals 5, 6 and 15
through grounds M35, M45 and M85,
to unified meter and A/C amp. terminals 29 and 30
through grounds M35, M45 and M85.

Self-Diagnosis Mode of Combination MeterAKS005MO
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
Odo/trip meter segment, A/T indicator segment and ICC system display segment operation can be
checked in self-diagnosis mode.
Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch ON, and switch the odo/trip meter to “trip A” or “trip B”.
NOTE:
If the diagnosis function is activated with the trip meter A displayed, the mileage on the trip meter A will
indicate 0000.0, but the actual trip mileage will be retained. (Trip B operates the same way.)
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON while pressing trip transfer switch and trip reset switch at the same time.
4. After ignition switch is turned ON, release trip transfer switch and trip reset switch. (With 7 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned ON.)
5. All the segments on the odo/trip meter, A/T indicator and ICC system display illuminates, and simultaneously the low-fuel
warning lamp indicator illuminates. At this time, the unified meter
control unit is turned to diagnosis mode.
NOTE:
If any of the segments is not displayed, replace combination
meter.
6. Push the trip reset switch. Each meter/gauge should indicate as shown in the figure while pushing trip reset switch. (At this time,
the low-fuel warning lamp goes off.)

UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP

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).

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”.

CONSULT-II Function (METER A/C AMP)AKS005NB
CONSULT-II performs the following functions communicating with the unified meter and A/C amp.
CONSULT-II BASIC OPERATION
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect “CONSULT-II” and “CON- SULT-II CONVERTER” to the data link connector, then turn igni-
tion switch ON.
2. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”.
3. Touch “METER A/C AMP” on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen. If “METER A/C AMP” is not indicated, go to GI-39, "
CONSULT-II
Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
4. Select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”, “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR” or “DATA MONITOR”.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
Operation Procedure
1. Touch “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
2. Self-diagnosis results are displayed.
Display Item List
“TIME” indicates the condition of the self-diagnostic results judged by each signal input.
Normal: In case of operating properly at the present in spite of having malfunction in the past, then “TIME”
indicates “1-63”.
Malfunction: Soon after detecting malfunctions by self-diagnoses or current malfunction, “0” is indicated.
After returning to normal condition, every time when ignition switch is turned to “OFF” from “ON”, time will be
added like “1” →“2” →“3”···“63”, and when the key operation is performed 64 times, the result of the self-diag-
noses will be erased. And if any malfunction is detected again, “0” will be indicated.
CAUTION:
“TIME” keeps showing “0” after returning to normal condition only in the case that malfunction his-
tory of “CAN COMM CIRC [U1000]” remains because of low tire pressure warning control unit, display
control unit (with NAVI) or display unit (without NAVI) malfunction.
DATA MONITOR
Operation Procedure
1. Touch “DATA MONITOR” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
2. Touch either “MAIN SIGNALS” or “SELECTION FROM MENU” on the “DATA MONITOR” screen.
3. When “SELECTION FROM MENU” is selected, touch individual items to be monitored. When “MAIN SIG- NALS” is selected, main items will be monitored.
