UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP
Revision: 2006 July 2007 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

A/C AUTO AMP. FUNCTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. controls each operation for A/C auto amp. Regarding A/C control, refer to AT C -
30, "AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL" in ATC section.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
Drive Computer Function
The signals required for the distance to empty (DTE) display are centralized in the unified meter and A/C
amp., converted into data, and transmitted to the display unit (without NAVI) and display control unit (with
NAVI) using CAN communication.
Signal Buffer Function
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits each signal to other units with CAN communication.
