FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.

Unified meter and A/C amp. reads a resistor signal from fuel level sensor.
Signal is 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 with communication line.

Combination meter indicates the approximate fuel level according to the fuel level signal.
ODO/TRIP METER

ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the unified meter and A/C
amp. with CAN communication.

Unified meter and A/C amp. converts the vehicle speed signal to the 8-pulse signal, and outputs the vehi-
cle speed signal (8-pulse) to combination meter.

Combination meter uses the vehicle speed signal (8-pulse) to calculate the mileage, and displays it.
How to Change The Display For Odo/trip Meter
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.
NOTE:
The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is dis-
connected. The record of the trip meter is erased when the battery
cable is disconnected.

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 , "

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 (within 7 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned ON).
5. All the segments on the odo/trip meter, shift position 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 self-diagnosis mode.
NOTE:

Check odo/trip meter switch and combination meter power supply and ground circuit when self-diagno-
sis mode of combination meter does not start. Replace combination meter if the results of the check are
normal.

If any of the segments are not displayed, replace combination meter.
6. Each meter/gauge activates during pressing trip reset switch. (Then low-fuel warning lamp turns OFF.)
NOTE:

If any of the meters/gauges are not activated, replace the
combination meter.
