Self-Diagnosis Mode of Combination MeterNKS003U2
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
Odo/trip meter segment and dot matrix LCD segment operation can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch ON, and switch the odo/trip meter to “trip A” or “trip B”.
NOTE:
If the diagnosis function is activated with “trip A” displayed, the mileage on “trip A” is reset to “0000.0”.
(The same way for “trip B”.)
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. While pressing the odo/trip meter switch (1), turn ignition switch
ON again.
4. Make sure that the trip meter displays “0000.0”.
5. Press the odo/trip meter switch (1) at least 3 times. (Within 7
seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON.)
6. The unified meter control unit is turned to self-diagnosis mode.
Dot in all segments of dot matrix LCD (1) flashes alternately.
All the segments on the odo/trip meter (2) illuminates.
Water temperature gauge and fuel gauge return to zero, and at the same time, low-fuel warning indica-
tor turns ON.
NOTE:
Check combination meter power supply and ground circuit when self-diagnosis mode of combination
meter does not start. Replace combination meter if normal.
If any of the segments is not displayed, replace combination meter.
7. Each meter activates during pressing odo/trip meter switch.
(Then low-fuel warning lamp turns OFF.)
NOTE:
If any of the meter and gages is not activated, replace combina-
tion meter.

COMPASS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
COMPASSPFP:24835
Precautions for CompassNKS004F2
NOTE:
Do not install the ski rack, antenna, etc. which is attach to the vehicle with a magnet base. It affects the
operation of the compass.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as it may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
System DescriptionNKS004F3
This electronic compass is able to display 8 primary directions: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.
The compass switch (1) is used to operate the compass.
Switch Operation
All standard compasses determine direction relative to Magnetic North; however, this electronic compass
is designed to display direction relative to True North.
The difference between Magnetic North and True North varies from place to place across the surface of
the earth.
This electronic compass must be “told” approximately where it is on the earth’s surface so that the Mag-
netic North reading can be properly converted into a True North display.
To tell the electronic compass where it’s at, the earth is separated into numbered “Zone Variances”. The
Zone Variance number in which the compass is to function must be entered into this electronic compass.
Each zone is magnetically about 4.2° wide. Typically, anything under 22.5° total zone change is not
noticed on the electronic compass display. However, over 22.5°, a reading may be off by one or more pri-
mary directions.
On long trips, a vehicle may leave its original zone and enter one or more new zones. Generally, you do
not need to reset the compass zone if you travel between 3 or 4 zones, such as business travel or vaca-
tion. The typical driver will not notice any difference on the display within 3 or 4 zones. However, if the
vehicle is “permanently” moved to a new location, it is recommended that the compass zone be reset.(1) : Compass switch

Zone Variation Setting ProcedureNKS004F5
NOTE:
The zone setting is factory preset (“default” setting) to zone 8.
1. Press and hold the compass switch for 3 – 9 seconds.
2. The current zone setting appears on the compass display.
3. Find the current geographical location number in the Zone Varia-
tion Chart.
4. Select the new zone number. (Press the compass switch until
the new zone number appears on the compass display.)
5. After select the new zone number, the compass display will
automatically shows a direction within a few seconds.
6. Preform the following Calibration Procedure for more accurate
indications.
Calibration ProcedureNKS004F6
NOTE:
The compass calibrates itself under normal driving conditions. However, occasional circumstances may cause
the compass to operate inaccurately. Example: Driving from rural (wide open) areas to crowded city areas, or
if an aftermarket (i.e., non original equipment) antenna with a magnetic base is attached to the vehicle. Cali-
brate the mirror compass if the display shows only one direction or a limited number of directions.
NOTE:
If “magnetic hats” are used in the dealership for vehicle identification, remove the hat from the vehicle
before performing the following steps. Do NOT put the hat back on the vehicle after the procedure is com-
pleted.
Drive the vehicle to an open level area; away from large metallic objects, structures, and overhead power
lines.
Turn off “non-essential” electrical accessories (rear window defrost, heater/air conditioning, wipers) and
close the doors.
1. Verify the correct compass zone setting for the geographical location. Refer to DI-104, "
Zone Variation
Setting Procedure" .
2. Press and hold the compass switch for more than 9 seconds.
3. “C” is displayed on the compass display, when calibration starts.
4. Drive slowly [less than 8 km/h (5 mph)] in a circle until the “C / CAL” is replaced with primary headings (N,
NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW).
NOTE:
This will require driving at least 2 complete 360 degree circles; 3 complete circles may be required.
5. The compass calibration procedure is now complete. The compass should operate normally.
NOTE:
If at any time the compass continually displays the incorrect direction or the reading is erratic or locked,
repeat the calibration procedure.

Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) SystemNBS004S3
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*1: This sensor is not used to control the engine system under normal conditions.
*2: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
*3: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of
time the valve remains open (injection pulse duration). The amount of fuel injected is a program value in the
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by input signals (for engine speed and intake air) from the crankshaft position sensor (POS), camshaft position
sensor (PHASE) and the mass air flow sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION INCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance under various operat-
ing conditions as listed below.

When starting the engine
During acceleration
Hot-engine operation

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, 1ST TRIP DTC, DTC, AND DETECTABLE ITEMS
When a malfunction is detected for the first time, the 1st trip DTC and the 1st trip freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory.
When the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive trips, the DTC and the freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory, and the MIL will come on. For details, refer to EC-54, "
Two Trip Detection
Logic" .
The MIL will go off after the vehicle is driven 3 times (driving pattern B) with no malfunction. The drive is
counted only when the recorded driving pattern is met (as stored in the ECM). If another malfunction
occurs while counting, the counter will reset.
The DTC and the freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 40 times (driving pattern A)
without the same malfunction recurring (except for Misfire and Fuel Injection System). For Misfire and
Fuel Injection System, the DTC and freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 80 times
(driving pattern C) without the same malfunction recurring. The “TIME” in “SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS” mode of CONSULT-II will count the number of times the vehicle is driven.
The 1st trip DTC is not displayed when the self-diagnosis results in OK for the 2nd trip.
SUMMARY CHART
For details about patterns B and C under “Fuel Injection System” and “Misfire”, see EC-75, "EXPLANATION FOR DRIVING PATTERNS
FOR “MISFIRE
For details about patterns A and B under Other, see EC-77, "
