COMBINATION METER ILLUMINATION CONTROL
Daytime Mode
When ignition switch is turned ON, combination meter illumination is turned ON by unified meter control unit.
Nighttime Mode

Unified meter control unit is transferred to nighttime mode, with ignition switch turned ON and position
light request signal from BCM with CAN communication.

When nighttime mode, illumination control switch illumination
turns ON by unified meter control unit. Each illumination is con-
trolled by unified meter control unit.

Each illumination can be adjusted to 16 step by illumination con-
trol switch in nighttime mode.
NOTE:
For further details of illumination circuit, refer to LT- 1 8 9 , "

UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
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

Remove by inserting a screwdriver between main bearing cap and rear oil seal retainer.
CAUTION:
If rear oil seal retainer is removed, replace it with new one.
NOTE:
Regard both rear oil seal and retainer as an assembly.
12. Remove baffle plate from main bearing beam (2WD models).
13. Remove piston and connecting rod assembly with the following procedure:

Before removing piston and connecting rod assembly, check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer
to EM-141, "
CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop connecting rod bearing, and to scratch the surface.
a. Position crankshaft pin corresponding to connecting rod to be removed onto the bottom dead center.
b. Remove connecting rod bearing cap.
c. Using a hammer handle or similar tool, push piston and connect- ing rod assembly out to the cylinder head side.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall and crankshaft
pin, resulting from an interference of the connecting rod big
end.
14. Remove connecting rod bearings from connecting rod and connecting rod bearing cap. CAUTION:

Be careful not to drop connecting rod bearing, and to scratch the surface.

Identify installation positions, and store them without mixing them up.
15. Remove piston rings form piston.

Before removing piston rings, check the piston ring side clearance. Refer to EM-142, "PISTON RING
SIDE CLEARANCE" .

Use a piston ring expander (commercial service tool).
CAUTION:

When removing piston rings, be careful not to damage
piston.

Be careful not to damage piston rings by expanding them
excessively.

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-149, "
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-141, "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
and connecting rod.
