Noise InspectionINFOID:0000000003533674
The vehicle itself can be a source of noise if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment is malfunctioning.
Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and opera-
tion of each piece of electrical equipment, and determine the cause.
NOTE:
The source of the noise can be found easily by listening to the noise while removing the fuses of electrical
components, one by one.

The noise occurs when various motors are operat-
ing.• Motor case ground
•Motor
The noise occurs constantly, not just under certain conditions.• Rear defogger coil malfunction
• Open circuit in printed heater

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
ABS Function
INFOID:0000000003532769
• The Anti-Lock Brake System detects wheel revolution while braking and improves handling stability during
sudden braking by electrically preventing wheel lockup. Maneuverability is also improved for avoiding obsta-
cles.
• If the electrical system malfunctions, the Fail-Safe function is activated, the ABS becomes inoperative and
the ABS warning lamp turns on.
• The electrical system can be diagnosed using CONSULT-II.
• During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
• Just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a motor operating noise may be heard from
engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
• Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
EBD FunctionINFOID:0000000003532770
• Electronic Brake Distribution is a function that detects subtle slippages between the front and rear wheels
during braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling the brake fluid pressure which
results in reduced rear wheel slippage.
• If the electrical system malfunctions, the Fail-Safe function is activated, the EBD and ABS become inopera-
tive, and the ABS warning lamp and BRAKE warning lamp are turned on.
• The electrical system can be diagnosed using CONSULT-II.
• During EBD operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
• Just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a motor operating noise may be heard from
engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
TCS FunctionINFOID:0000000003532771
• Spinning of the drive wheels is detected by the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) using inputs from
the wheel speed sensors. If wheel spin occurs, the drive wheel right and left brake fluid pressure control and
engine fuel cut are activated while the throttle value is restricted to reduce the engine torque and decrease
the amount of wheel spin. In addition, the throttle opening is controlled to achieve the optimum engine
torque.
• Depending on road condition, the vehicle may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because optimum trac-
tion has the highest priority during TCS operation.
• TCS may be activated during sudden vehicle acceleration, wide open throttle acceleration, sudden transmis-
sion shifts or when the vehicle is driven on a road with a varying surface friction coefficient.
• The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of TCS operation.
VDC FunctionINFOID:0000000003532772
• In addition to the ABS/TCS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected
from the steering angle sensor and front and rear pressure sensors, and the vehicle's driving status (amount
of under steering/over steering) is determined using inputs from the yaw rate sensor/side G sensor, wheel
speed sensors, etc. and this information is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and
engine torque application to the wheels.
• The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.
• During VDC operation, the vehicle body and brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be
heard. This is normal.
• The ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on when the vehicle is
subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when the vehicle is on a turn table or a ship while the
engine is running or on a steep slope. In this case, restart the engine on a normal road and if the ABS warn-
ing lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no problem.
Fail-Safe FunctionINFOID:0000000003532773
CAUTION:
If the Fail-Safe function is activated, perform the Self Diagnosis for ABS/TCS/VDC system.

UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT
• Speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltage gauge, A/T oil temperature
gauge, and water temperature gauge are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is built into the
combination meter.
• Warning indicators are controlled by signals drawn fr om the CAN communication system, BCM (body control
module), and components connected directly to the combination meter.
• Digital meter is adopted for odometer/trip meters*, as well as the A/T position indicator display. *The record of the odometer is kept ev en if the battery cable is disconnected.
• Odometer/trip meters and A/T indicator segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.
• Meters/gauges can be checked in diagnosis mode.
Illumination control
The unified meter control unit outputs the speedometer, odometer/trip meters, tachometer, oil pressure gauge,
voltage meter, A/T indicator, A/T temperature gauge, fuel and temperature gauge lighting when the ignition
switch is turned on. When the lighting switch is turned on, the illumination control switch can be used to adjust
the brightness of the combination meter illuminati on and the odometer/trip meters and meter illumination.
When the ignition switch is turned from the OFF to the ON position, the combination meter dial lighting will
remain off for 0.7 seconds. For additional combination meter illumination control information, refer to LT-120,

COMBINATION METERS
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times
• through 10A fuse [No.19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
• to combination meter terminal 8.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
• through 10A fuse [No.14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
• to combination meter terminal 24.
Ground is supplied
• to combination meter terminal 17
• through body grounds M57, M61 and M79.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
ECM provides an engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter via CAN communication lines.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The engine oil pressure gauge indicates whether the engine oil pressure is low or normal.
The oil pressure gauge is controlled by the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room). Low
oil pressure causes oil pressure switch terminal 1 to provide ground to IPDM E/R terminal 42. The IPDM E/R
then signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via CAN communication lines and a low oil
pressure indication is displayed by the oil pressure gauge.
A/T OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The A/T oil temperature gauge indicates the A/T fluid temperature.
TCM (transmission control module) provides an A/T flui d temperature signal to combination meter via CAN
communication lines.
VOLTAGE GAUGE
The voltage gauge indicates the battery/charging system voltage.
The voltage gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit.
TA C H O M E T E R
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
ECM provides an engine speed signal to combination meter via CAN communication lines.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit and a variable resistor signal supplied
• to combination meter terminal 15.
• through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 2
• through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 5
• from combination meter terminal 16
SPEEDOMETER
ABS actuator and electric unit (contro l unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via CAN
communication lines.
ODO/TRIP METER
The vehicle speed signal and the memory signals from the meter memory circuit are processed by the combi-
nation meter and the mileage is displayed.
How to Change the Display
Refer to Owner's Manual for odo/tr ip meter operating instructions.
