COMBINATION METERS
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
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 , "
ILLUMINA-
TION" .

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
