Engine Speed Signal Inspection NKS003U8
Symptom: Tachometer 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 “TACHO METER” on “DATA MONITOR”, compare the
value of “DATA MONITOR” to that of tachometer of combination
meter.
Is the value in tachometer almost 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 indicates 8191.875
rpm. Then repair or replace the malfunction part.)
2. CHECK ECM OUTPUT SIGNAL
1. Select “ENGINE” on CONSULT-II.
2. Using “ENG SPEED” on “DATA MONITOR”, print out the CON-
SULT-II screen when the engine is idling.
3. Select “METER A/C AMP” on CONSULT-II.
4. Using “TACHO METER” on “DATA MONITOR”, compare the
value of “DATA MONITOR” of the idling speed to that of the
“ENG SPEED”.
OK or NG
OK >> Perform self-diagnosis of ECM. Refer to EC-123, "CON-
SULT-II Function (ENGINE)" (for VQ35DE) or EC-826,
"CONSULT-II Function (ENGINE)" (for VK45DE).
NG >> Replace unified meter and A/C amp.

UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMPPFP:27760
System DescriptionNKS003UG
For the unified meter and A/C amp., the signal required for controlling the combination meter are integrated in
the A/C auto amp.
COMBINATION METER CONTROL FUNCTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. inputs necessary information for combination meter from each unit with CAN
communication and so on.
Unified meter and A/C amp. outputs signals with communication line (TX, RX) between unified meter and
A/C amp. and combination meter.
Unified meter and A/C amp. corresponds a CONSULT-II function (self-diagnostic results, CAN diagnostic
support monitor and data monitor).

WARNING LAMPSPFP:24814
System DescriptionNKS003UO
OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP
Oil pressure warning lamp turns ON when reducing engine oil pressure abnormally.
IPDM E/R inputs oil pressure switch signal from oil pressure switch, and transmits the signal to unified
meter and A/C amp. through BCM with CAN communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits oil pressure switch signal to combination meter with communication
line.
Let the combination meter turn oil pressure warning lamp ON with received oil pressure switch signal.
