System DescriptionEKS00BBU
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT

Speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltage gauge, A/T oil temperature
gauge, and water temperature gauge are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is built into the
combination meter.

Warning indicators are controlled by signals drawn from the CAN communication system, BCM (body con-
trol module), and components connected directly to the combination meter.

Digital meter is adopted for odometer/trip meters*, as well as the A/T position indicator display.
*The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected.

Odometer/trip meters and A/T indicator segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in diagnosis mode.
Illumination control
The unified meter control unit outputs the speedometer, odometer/trip meters, tachometer, oil pressure gauge,
voltage meter, A/T indicator, A/T temperature gauge, fuel and temperature gauge lighting when the ignition
switch is turned on. When the lighting switch is turned on, the illumination control switch can be used to adjust
the brightness of the combination meter illumination and the odometer/trip meters and meter illumination.
When the ignition switch is turned from the OFF to the ON position, the combination meter dial lighting will
remain off for 0.7 seconds. For additional combination meter illumination control information, refer to LT- 1 5 7 ,

Meter/Gauge Operation and Odo/Trip MeterEKS00BC0
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The following items can be checked during Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode.

Gauge sweep and present gauge values.

Illuminates all odometer, fuel, and engine temperature segments.

Illuminates all micro controlled lamps/LED's regardless of switch configuration.

Displays estimated present battery voltage.

Displays seat belt buckle switch LH status.
HOW TO INITIATE COMBINATION METER SELF- DIAGNOSIS MODE
NOTE:
Once entered, Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode will function with the ignition switch in ON or START.
Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode will exit upon turning the ignition switch to OFF or ACC.
To initiate Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode, refer to the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON, while holding the odometer/trip meter switch for 5 - 8 seconds.
NOTE:
If the diagnosis function is activated the odometer/trip meter will display tESt.
COMBINATION METER SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE FUNCTIONS
To interpret Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode functions, refer to the following table.
