COMBINATION METERS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
METER ILLUMINATION CONTROL

Meter illumination* is controlled by the unified meter control unit.

Ring illumination under normal operation and engine start excitement function can be turned ON/OFF with
pressing meter illumination control switch for more than 1 second.
*: Illumination for ring, meter face, pointer, dot matrix LCD and odo/trip meter
Daytime Mode
Meter illumination is adjusted to 5 steps by meter illumination control
switch (1) in daytime mode.
Nighttime Mode

Combination meter is transferred to nighttime mode with position light request signal from BCM with CAN
communication.

Meter illumination is adjusted to 16 steps by illumination control
switch (1) in nighttime. Refer to LT- 2 9 3 , "
ILLUMINATION" .
Driver Welcome Function
Ring illumination gradually turns ON when a driver gets in the vehicle with intelligent key and closes the driver
side door.
NOTE:
Ring illumination gradually turns OFF when not turning the ignition switch ON at a certain period of time.
Engine Start Excitement Function
Combination meter detects the engine start when input engine speed signal at first. Pointers of speed meter
and tachometer sweep and ring illumination gradually turns ON when combination meter detects the engine
start. Then, combination meter starts the normal control.
NOTE:

Water temperature gauge and fuel gauge do not function.

Engine start excitement function can be turned ON/OFF with pressing meter illumination control switch for
more than 1 second.

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.

Vehicle Speed Signal InspectionNKS003U7
Symptom: Odo/trip meter indication is malfunction.
1. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. INPUT SIGNAL
1. Connect CONSULT-II, and start engine.
2. Compare the value in “SPEED METER” of “DATA MONITOR” in
“METER A/C AMP” to that in speedometer in the combination
meter during driving.
Is the value in speedometer almost same as that in the monitor?
YES >> Preform self-diagnosis of ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit). Refer to BRC-23, "
CONSULT-II Functions
(ABS)" .
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. OUTPUT SIGNAL
1. Start engine and drive vehicle at approximately 40 km/h (25
MPH).
2. Check voltage signal between unified meter and A/C amp. har-
ness connector and ground.
NOTE:
Maximum voltage may be 5 V due to specifications (connected units).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG-1 >> If monitor indicates “0 V” constantly, perform the following.
1. Check each unit inputting vehicle speed signal (8 pulse). Malfunction is caused by short circuit
between each unit and unified meter and A/C amp.
2. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.
NG-2 >> If monitor indicates “5 V” or “12 V” constantly, replace unified meter and A/C amp.

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).

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 -
29, "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 transmit to the AV control unit (without NAVI) or NAVI control unit (with NAVI)
with CAN communication.
Signal Buffer Function
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits each signal to other units with CAN communication.
