SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed.

ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) converses a pulse signal from wheel sensor to vehicle speed
signal, and transmit vehicle speed signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits vehicle speed signal to combination meter with communication line.

Combination meter converses vehicle speed signal to the angle signal, and commands to speedometer.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).

ECM converses a signal from crankshaft position sensor to engine speed signal, and transmits to unified
meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine speed signal to combination meter with communication line.

Combination meter converses engine speed signal to the angle signal, and commands to tachometer.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.

ECM converses a signal from engine coolant temperature sensor to engine coolant temperature signal,
and transmits to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter with com-
munication line.

Combination meter converses engine coolant temperature signal to the angle signal, and commands to
water temperature gauge.

FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by a variable ground signal supplied

from unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 58

through the fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (main) terminals 5 and 2, and

through the fuel level sensor unit (sub) terminals 2 and 1

to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 42.
Unified meter and A/C amp. provides a fuel level signal to combination meter for fuel gauge with communica-
tion line between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
ODO/TRIP METER

ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) converses a pulse signal from wheel sensor to vehicle speed
signal, and transmits vehicle speed signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.

Unified meter and A/C amp. converses vehicle speed signal to 8 pulse signal, and transmits to combina-
tion meter.

Combination meter processes the 8 pulse signal and the memory signals from the meter memory circuit.
Then the mileage is displayed.
How to Change The Display For Odo/trip Meter
Operating the odo/trip meter switch allows switching the mode in the following order.

The odo/trip meter display switching and trip display resetting
can be identified by the time from pressing the odo/trip meter
switch (1) to releasing it.

When resetting with “trip A” displayed, only “trip A” display is
reset. (The same way for “trip B”.)

Fuel Gauge Pointer Fluctuates, Indicator Wrong Value or VariesNKS003UB
1. CHECK FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION
Test drive vehicle to see if gauge fluctuates only during driving or at the instant of stopping.
Does the indication value vary only during driving or at the instant of stopping?
YES >> The pointer fluctuation may be caused by fuel level change in the fuel tank. Condition is normal.
NO >> Ask the customer about the situation when the symptom occurs in detail, and perform the trouble
diagnosis.
Fuel Gauge Does Not Move to FULL PositionNKS003UC

Does it take a long time for the pointer to move to FULL position?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2. QUESTION 2
Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?
YES >> Be sure to fuel the vehicle with the ignition switch OFF. Otherwise, it will take a long time to move
to FULL position because of the characteristic of the fuel gauge.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3. QUESTION 3
Is the vehicle parked on an incline?
YES >> Check the fuel level indication with vehicle on a level surface.
NO >> GO TO 4.
4. QUESTION 4
During driving, does the fuel gauge pointer move gradually toward EMPTY position?
YES >> Check the fuel level sensor unit. Refer to DI-26, "CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT" .
