Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) converses a pulse signal from wheel sensor to vehicle speed
signal, and transmit vehicle speed signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits vehicle speed signal to combination meter with communication line.
Combination meter converses vehicle speed signal to the angle signal, and commands to speedometer.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
ECM converses a signal from crankshaft position sensor to engine speed signal, and transmits to unified
meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine speed signal to combination meter with communication line.
Combination meter converses engine speed signal to the angle signal, and commands to tachometer.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
ECM converses a signal from engine coolant temperature sensor to engine coolant temperature signal,
and transmits to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter with com-
munication line.
Combination meter converses engine coolant temperature signal to the angle signal, and commands to
water temperature gauge.

Engine Coolant Temperature Signal InspectionNKS003U9
Symptom: Water temperature gauge indication is malfunction.
1. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. INPUT SIGNAL
1. Start engine and select “METER A/C AMP” on CONSULT-II.
2. Using “W TEMP METER” on “DATA MONITOR”, compare the
value of “DATA MONITOR” to the indication of water tempera-
ture gauge of combination meter.
Is the indication of water temperature gauge same as the value in
the monitor?
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Replace combination meter. [Perform self-diagnosis of ECM when the value in the monitor indi-
cates 215
C (419F). Then repair or replace the malfunction part.]
2. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. INPUT SIGNAL
1. Select “ENGINE” on CONSULT-II.
2. Using “COOLAN TEMP/S” on “DATA MONITOR”, print out the
CONSULT-II screen.
3. Select “METER A/C AMP” on CONSULT-II.
4. Using “W TEMP METER” on “DATA MONITOR”, compare the
value of “DATA MONITOR” to that of the “COOLAN TEMP/S”.
OK or NG
OK >> Perform self-diagnosis of ECM. Refer to EC-133, "CON-
SULT-II Function (ENGINE)" (for VQ35DE) or EC-846,
"CONSULT-II Function (ENGINE)" (for VK45DE).
NG >> Replace unified meter and A/C amp.
Fuel Level Sensor Signal InspectionNKS003UA
Symptom:
Fuel gauge indication is malfunction.
Low-fuel warning lamp indication is irregular.
NOTE:
The following symptoms are not malfunction.
Fuel level sensor unit
Depending on vehicle position or driving circumstance, the fuel level in the tank varies, and the pointer
may fluctuate.
If the vehicle is fueled with the ignition switch ON, the pointer will move slowly.
Low-fuel warning lamp
Depending on vehicle position or driving circumstance, the fuel in the tank flows and the warning lamp ON
timing may change.
Water temperature gauge pointer Reference value of data monitor C (F)
Hot Approx. 130 (266)
Middle Approx. 70 - 105 (158 - 221)
Cold Approx. 50 (122)
