Yaw Rate/Side G Sensor CircuitNFS000QV
CAUTION:
Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc., when VDC function is off (VDC
OFF switch “ON”) may cause yaw rate/side G sensor system to indicate a malfunction. However,
this is not a malfunction, if normal operation can be resumed after restarting engine. Then erase
memory of self-diagnosis.
If vehicle is on turn-table at entrance to parking garage, or on other moving surface, VDC OFF
indicator lamp may illuminate and CONSULT-II self-diagnosis may indicate yaw rate sensor sys-
tem malfunction. However, in this case there is no malfunction in yaw rate sensor system. Take
vehicle off of turn-table or other moving surface, and start engine. Results will return to normal.
And after doing spin turns or acceleration turns with VDC function is being off (VDC OFF switch
“ON”), too, the results will return to a normal condition by re-starting vehicle.

System DescriptionNKS003TV
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT
Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled by the
unified meter control unit, which is built into the combination meter. Unified meter control unit receives sig-
nals from unified meter and A/C amp.
Warning lamp and indicator lamp of combination meter are controlled by signals drawn from the unified
meter and A/C amp.
Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.
NOTE:
The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter
is erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
Dot matrix LCD is adopted to display “push engine starter”, “A/T position” and “ICC system* ”.
Odo/trip meter and dot matrix LCD segments can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
*: With ICC system
