4. CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR (MAIN) CIRCUIT
1. Check continuity between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (main) harness connector (A) B39 terminal 5 and unified meter
and A/C amp. harness connector (B) M56 terminal 36.
2. Check continuity between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (main) harness connector (A) B39 terminal 5 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.
5. CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
Check components. Refer to DI-24, "
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT" .
OK or NG
OK >> Check fuel level sensor unit installation, and check whether the float arm interferes or binds with any of the internal components in the fuel tank. Repair or replace malfunctioning part, if neces-
sary.
NG >> Replace fuel level sensor unit.
Fuel Gauge Pointer Fluctuates, Indicator Wrong Value or VariesNKS002ZU
1. CHECK FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION
Test drive vehicle to see if gauge fluctuates only during driving or at the instant of stopping.
Does the indication value vary only during driving or at the instant of stopping?
YES >> The pointer fluctuation may be caused by fuel level change in the fuel tank. Condition is normal.
NO >> Ask the customer about the situation when the symptom occurs in detail, and perform the trouble diagnosis.
Fuel Gauge Does Not Move to FULL PositionNKS002ZV
1. QUESTION 1
Does it take a long time for the pointer to move to FULL position?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2. QUESTION 2
Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?
YES >> Be sure to fuel the vehicle with the ignition switch OFF. Otherwise, it will take a long time to move to FULL position because of the characteristic of the fuel gauge.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3. QUESTION 3
Is the vehicle parked on an incline?
YES >> Check the fuel level indication with vehicle on a level surface.
NO >> GO TO 4. 5 – 36 : Continuity should exist.
5 – Ground : Continuity should not exist.

UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMPPFP:27760
System DescriptionNKS00300
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.
The unified meter and A/C amp. corresponds to a CONSULT-II function (self-diagnosis results, CAN diag-
nosis support monitor, data monitor).
COMBINATION METER CONTROL FUNCTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. receives necessary information for combination meter from each unit by CAN
communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits a signals with communication line (TX, RX) between unified meter
and A/C amp. and combination meter.
Input/output signals between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
NOTE:
Combination meter performs fail-safe operation when unified meter and A/C amp. communication is malfunctioning. Refer to DI-8,
"FAIL-SAFE" . Unit Input Output

A/C AUTO AMP. FUNCTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. controls each operation for A/C auto amp. Regarding A/C control, refer to AT C -
30, "AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL" in ATC section.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
Drive Computer Function
The signals required for the distance to empty (DTE) display are centralized in the unified meter and A/C
amp., converted into data, and transmitted to the display unit (without NAVI) and display control unit (with
NAVI) using CAN communication.
Signal Buffer Function
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits each signal to other units with CAN communication.
