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”.)

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM PFP:28442
Precautions for Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systemNKS003VF
WARNING:
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is only a warning device to inform the driver of an unintended lane
departure. It will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driver's responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.

LDW system does not operate under the following conditions:
–At speeds below approx. 72 km/h (45 MPH).
–If it cannot detect lane markers.

LDW system may not function properly under the following conditions:
–On roads where a water puddle, dirt or snow is covering the lane markers.
–On roads where the lane markers are faded or are not painted clearly.
–On roads where the lane markers are painted yellow.

LDW system may not monitor the lane markers in certain road, weather or driving conditions.
–On roads where there are sharp curves.
–Where the traveling lane merges or separates.
–On roads where the discontinued lane markers are present, such as near tollgates, etc.
–On roads where there are not general lane markers.
–On roads where the lane width is too narrow.
–During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
–When strong light (for example, at sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.
–When entering or exiting a tunnel where sudden changes in brightness occur.
–When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which causes obstruction of the camera unit
range.
–When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
–When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the windshield in front of the camera unit.

Excessive noise interferes with warning system chime sound and the chime may not be heard.
CAUTION:
To keep the LDW system operating properly, be sure to observe the following:

Always keep the windshield clean. The sensing capability of the camera unit depends on the con-
dition of the windshield. See “Appearance and care” for cleaning instruction.

Never strike or damage the areas around the camera unit.

Never touch the camera lens.

Never attach a sticker (including transparent material) or install an accessory near the camera
unit.

Never place reflective materials, such as a white paper or mirrors on the instrument panel. Reflec-
tion of the sunlight may adversely affect the camera unit's lane marker detection capability.
System DescriptionNKS003VG
LDW SYSTEM OPERATION

The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system warns the driver when the vehicle is traveling close to either
the left or the right of the traveling lane.

The system monitors lane markers of the traveling lane using the LDW camera unit. When the LDW cam-
era unit detects that the vehicle is traveling close to either the left or the right of the traveling lane, the
LDW indicator lamp flashes and a chime sounds to alert the driver.
NOTE:
When activating turn signal, LDW system does not give a warning to the lane marker on the turn signal
side.

The LDW system can be turned on or off by pushing the LDW switch. When the system is on, the LDW
system ON indicator illuminates.

The LDW system has an automatic mode and manual mode.

TroubleshootingNKS004F4

The electronic compass is highly protected from changes in most magnetic fields. However, some large
changes in magnetic fields can affect it. Some examples are (but not limited to): high tension power lines,
large steel buildings, subways, steel bridges, automatic car washes, large piles of scrap metal, etc. While
this does not happen very often, it is possible.

During normal operation, the Compass Mirror will continuously update the compass calibration to adjust
for gradual changes in the vehicle's magnetic “remnant” field. If the vehicle is subjected to high magnetic
influences, the compass may appear to indicate false headings, become locked, or appear that it is
unable to be calibrated. If this occurs, perform the calibration procedure.

If at any time the compass continually displays the incorrect direction or the reading is erratic or locked,
verify the correct zone variance.

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.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
MIXTURE RATIO FEEDBACK CONTROL (CLOSED LOOP CONTROL)
The mixture ratio feedback system provides the best air-fuel mixture ratio for driveability and emission control.
The three way catalyst 1 can then better reduce CO, HC and NOx emissions. This system uses A/F sensor 1
in the exhaust manifold to monitor whether the engine operation is rich or lean. The ECM adjusts the injection
pulse width according to the sensor voltage signal. For more information about A/F sensor 1, refer to EC-244,
"DTC P0131, P0151 A/F SENSOR 1" . This maintains the mixture ratio within the range of stoichiometric (ideal
air-fuel mixture).
This stage is referred to as the closed loop control condition.
Heated oxygen sensor 2 is located downstream of the three way catalyst 1. Even if the switching characteris-
tics of A/F sensor 1 shift, the air-fuel ratio is controlled to stoichiometric by the signal from heated oxygen sen-
sor 2.
Open Loop Control
The open loop system condition refers to when the ECM detects any of the following conditions. Feedback
control stops in order to maintain stabilized fuel combustion.

Deceleration and acceleration

High-load, high-speed operation

Malfunction of A/F sensor 1 or its circuit

Insufficient activation of A/F sensor 1 at low engine coolant temperature

High engine coolant temperature

During warm-up

After shifting from N to D

When starting the engine
MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING CONTROL
The mixture ratio feedback control system monitors the mixture ratio signal transmitted from A/F sensor 1.
This feedback signal is then sent to the ECM. The ECM controls the basic mixture ratio as close to the theoret-
ical mixture ratio as possible. However, the basic mixture ratio is not necessarily controlled as originally
designed. Both manufacturing differences (i.e., mass air flow sensor hot wire) and characteristic changes dur-
ing operation (i.e., fuel injector clogging) directly affect mixture ratio.
Accordingly, the difference between the basic and theoretical mixture ratios is monitored in this system. This is
then computed in terms of “injection pulse duration” to automatically compensate for the difference between
the two ratios.
“Fuel trim” refers to the feedback compensation value compared against the basic injection duration. Fuel trim
includes short term fuel trim and long term fuel trim.
“Short term fuel trim” is the short-term fuel compensation used to maintain the mixture ratio at its theoretical
value. The signal from A/F sensor 1 indicates whether the mixture ratio is RICH or LEAN compared to the the-
oretical value. The signal then triggers a reduction in fuel volume if the mixture ratio is rich, and an increase in
fuel volume if it is lean.
“Long term fuel trim” is overall fuel compensation carried out long-term to compensate for continual deviation
of the short term fuel trim from the central value. Such deviation will occur due to individual engine differences,
wear over time and changes in the usage environment.
